Hey,
I am planning to implement authenticated boot inspired from Pid Eins’ blog. I’ll be using pam mount for /home/user. I need to check integrity of all partitions.
I have been using luks+ext4 till now. I am
hesistanthesitant to switch to zfs/btrfs, afraid I might fuck up. A while back I accidently purged ‘/’ trying out timeshift which was my fault.Should I use zfs/btrfs for /home/user? As for root, I’m considering luks+(zfs/btrfs) to be restorable to blank state.
Btrfs is good for small systems with 1-2 disks. ZFS is good for many disks and benefits heavily from ram. ZFS also has specially disks.
BTRFS is running just fine for my 8 disk home server.
That is not a recommended setup. Raid5 is not stable yet.
I never said anything about RAID5. I’m running RAID1.
For 8 disks?
Yep
Interesting
Oh, I misremembered… It’s only 7 disks in BTRFS RAID1.
I have:
For a combined total of 40 TB raw storage, which in RAID1 turns into 20 TB usable.
