Snip!! Great read. I do the same thing for backups on a much smaller scale and it works brilliantly. Two 4T drives in btrfs raid1. I will mention that I recently setup caching using LLVM (1 x 300G ssd for each 4T drive), and it's extraordinary how much of a difference it makes. Especially when running deduplication. If it's feasible perhaps you could try it with a nvme drive. Paul. ��.n��������+%������w��{.n�����{����n�r������&��z�ޗ�zf���h���~����������_��+v���)ߣ�
