I have only looked at btrfs, with a consideration for switching from ZFS, but it seems to offer the same advantages as ZFS. That is, it makes things even easier than LVM does. with LVM you can easily resize volumes and the filesystems on them, but it is still two or three steps, more if you add RAID into the equation. The modern filesystems do it all at once. If you need a bigger var, you just tell it so. And it is exactly the same process for shrinking a volume, something that can be tricky with LVM because of the need to handle volume and filesystem separately. --=20 Neil Bothwick You know the end of the world is near when the Spice Girls start reproducing. --Sig_/Cyx=yR0y9rUJ=MW=PwP0P=Y Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlN1/ocACgkQum4al0N1GQPLYwCfd+KAl8/tiahC/Qy2yRJN2WiN rWkAn14eFAL6BHJmoxwzBnBSBXlPiLZC =A4g/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/Cyx=yR0y9rUJ=MW=PwP0P=Y--
