Titel: Examining btrfs, Linux’s perpetually half-finished filesystem

Wat is de relevantie hiervan voor onze Synology NAS, nu en in de toekomst?

TL;DR  ;)

Conclusions

Believe it or not, we've still only scratched the surface of btrfs problems. Similar problems and papercuts lurk in the way it manages snapshots, replication, compression, and more. Once we get through that, there's performance to talk about—which in many cases can be orders of magnitude slower than either ZFS or mdraid in reasonable, common real-world conditions and configurations.

We'll return to this analysis in the near future. In the meantime, if you're going to run btrfs in any configuration in which it manages multiple disks—as opposed to, eg., Synology and Netgear NAS devices, which crucially layer btrfs on top of traditional systems like LVM to avoid these pitfalls—please do so very carefully.

Geen relevantie. Dat staat in de conclusie.

Zover ik begrepen heb, gebruikt Synology nog steeds EXT4, maar dan met een btrfs sausje eroverheen.

Mijn openingszin is niet goed geformuleerd, daarom de conclusie er maar gelijk bij geplakt! Vergeten de zin aan te passen…  (:
