Quick question: Supposed I have n-number of storage pods (physical servers with n-number of physical hhds). The end deployment will be btrfs at the brick/block level with a distributed file system on top. Keeping in mind that my overriding goal is to have high availability and the mechanism whereby the lost of a drive or multiple drives in a single pod will not jeopardize data. >>>>>Question<<<<< Does partitioning the physical drives and creating btrfs filesystem on each partition, then configuring each partition as individual bricks/blocks offer ANY added benefits over grouping the entire pod into a drive pool and using that pool as a single block/brick to expose to the distributed filesystem? -- 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
