Just have backups. I used btrfs and zfs for different purposes. Never had any lost data or downtime with btrfs since 2016. I only use raid 0 and raid 1 and compression. Btrfs does not havr a hungry ram requirement.
- tw04 2y agoNeither does zfs, that’s a widely repeated red herring from people trying to do dedup in the very early days, and people who misunderstood how it used ram to do caching.
- zelcon 2y agoTbh the idea of keeping backups defeats the purpose of using RAIDZ (especially RAIDZ3). I don’t want to buy an LTO drive, so if I backup, it’s either buying more HDDs or S3 Glacier ($$$). I like RAIDZ so I don’t have to buy so many drives. I guess it protects you if your house burns down, but how many people do offsite backups for their personal files? And dormant, unpowered HDDs die a lot faster than live, powered HDDs.
- unixhero 2y agoYes, seriously handling your data is expensive. I am talking about buying new hardrives.
