I wish you lots of fun with that on btrfs :)

No your not, but don't use unstable features in a filesystem

Well, that's the idea! This a low I/O media server where all the important stuff (<5G of photos) has 2+ redundancy, once remotely, and on every workstation I sync, with the rest of the data being able to crash and burn without much repercussion.

The whole point of me using RAID1 (and maybe later RAID5) is that if a disk goes bust, odds are I can still watch a movie from it until I can get another disk. What's more, if I ever fill the RAID1 and I don't feel like breaking the piggy bank for another disk, I can go JBOD as far as my usecase is concerned.

But hey, if the orange website tells me all servers are supposed to be treated as if I'm storing business data or precious memories without backups, guess I'm just dumb. On that note: donations welcome, each 8TB disk costs close to 500 USD here in Uruguay, so if anyone's first world opinion can buy me a couple so I can use the Right Filesystem™, I'd appreciate it!

Look i really don't care was FS you use, just don't use unstable features. If you pay so much for your disks JUST for your movies, it seams they have some value for you.

>so if anyone's first world opinion can buy

Oh buhuu, says the Guy who can afford a NAS for his movies and >2 workstations, stop with your wannabe victim role.

At 500 a disk you could fly a consultant out to demonstrate a high capacity storage solution consisting of many $200 disks who just happens to forget to bring the disks back!
