I'm building a test file server using samba 3.6 to see if BTRFS is a good fit. I want to stress that this is a test setup for now. I'm trying to get an idea of the sub-volume concept and how it relates to the LVM concept. Trying to see what might be the best practice. I was going to create one of two configs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## option 1 sda1 -> /boot using ext4 sda2 is LV sysvg, this will include: lvroot -> / using ext4 lvvar -> /var using ext4 lvopt -> /opt using ext4 lvhome -> /home using btrfs lvsrv -> /srv using btrfs I could create sub-volumes in srv for each samba share. ## option 2 sda1 -> /boot using ext4 sda2 is LV sysvg, this will include: lvroot -> / using ext4 lvvar -> /var using ext4 lvopt -> /opt using ext4 sda3 -> /home using btrfs sda4 -> /srv using btrfs both /home and /srv can create their own sub-volumes for each homedir and each share. ____________________________________________________________________________ Does BTRFS work fine within a LV? Is there an advantage to keep BTRDS out or in a LV? Does all this make no sense? and I really should just create one big BTRFS partition and only use sub-volumes? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
