I have only looked at btrfs, with a consideration for switching from ZFS, |
| 6 |
but it seems to offer the same advantages as ZFS. That is, it makes |
| 7 |
things even easier than LVM does. with LVM you can easily resize volumes |
| 8 |
and the filesystems on them, but it is still two or three steps, more if |
| 9 |
you add RAID into the equation. The modern filesystems do it all at once. |
| 10 |
If you need a bigger var, you just tell it so. And it is exactly the same |
| 11 |
process for shrinking a volume, something that can be tricky with LVM |
| 12 |
because of the need to handle volume and filesystem separately. |
