Planning out new fs. Am I missing anything?

Hi, I'm the guy who lost all his VMs due to a massive configuration oversight.

I'm looking to implement the remaining 4 x 3tb drives into a new fs
and just want someone to look over things. I'm intending to use them
for backup storage (veeam).

Centos 7 Kernel 5.5.2-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
btrfs-progs v4.9.1

mkfs.btrfs -m raid1c4 -d raid1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3000*-part1
echo "UUID=whatever /mnt/btrfs/ btrfs defaults,space_cache=v2 0 2" >> /etc/fstab
mount /mnt/btrfs

RAID1 over 4 disks and RAID1C4 metadata. Mounting with space_cache=v2.
Any other mount switches or btrfs creation switches I should be aware
of? Should I consider RAID5/6 instead? 6tb should be sufficient, so
it's not like I'd get anything out of RAID5, but RAID6 I suppose could
provide a little more safety in the case of multiple drive failures at
once.


Cheers,
Justin
