If the btrfs raid fails I boot into that and I can do maintenance with a full graphical interface and internet access so I can google things. Of course on a home server you can't do that without some automation that will switch boot device after some amount of boot failures of the main OS. While if your server has BMC (lights-out management) you can switch boot device through that. -Alberto
