Nope there's no real con other than you don't get csums, but that
doesn't really matter for you.  Thanks,

In a btrfs-raid setup, in case of a corrupted sector, is BTRFS able to
rebuild the sector ?
I suppose no; if so this has to be add to the cons I think.


It won't know its corrupted, but it can rebuild if say you yank a drive and add a new one. RAID5/RAID6 would catch corruption of course. Thanks,
