BTRFS & LVM
Hi, I was very excited when I realised, that Netgear is now using btrfs. Mainly because it would help a lot when changing disk in a raid0 without the need of destrying the complete raid. (I dont ...
Hi Stephen,
yes , you are absolut right, and I also understand the way Netgear implemented and uses the feature in its existing environment.
And Checksum & COW is most welcome, it secures my backups. No more manual md5 sum checking.
But, the question, if Netgear plans to implement and use the full set of btrfs, should be allowed. From my side, that would simplify
the handling while expanding / changing (presupposed a good and simple User interface) of NAS a lot.
And I'll guess, esspecialy those "little" NAS's for home systems, aren't used a lot in professional environments, hence they didn't really need Raid 1/5/6/... .
It's rarely a problem at home if I can't access my data for some days. In urgent circumstances I could take it direct from backup. No production line stands still...
Don't get me wrong, all in all I have to say, that I'm really *very* please with my RN104.
It's way a lot better then I had expected from that low price (compared to other 4-bay home-NAS). Actually the build quallity easily beats my other systems here.
Full implemented Btrfs would just be the icing on the cake... I'm young (more or less...), I can wait .... :wink:
