Sure.

Bazzite defaults to btrfs and yeah this distro with rolling back changes is on another level.

Well you probably used it if you had any brand new USB as it's the default. I'm trying to flash my USBs for now with exFAT or NTFS...

NTFS is like Windows - the necessity when nothing else will work.

Wait what. exFAT can make you not to worry about eject/umount?

I use it in my work but ZFS seems interesting alternative.

Great! Have you had any issues with this setup?

[–] Psyhackological@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

When you know LVM I think you can manage manual paritioning. :) Especially as btrfs is advertised with snapshots so trial and error is encouraged.

Which RAID? I need to read about SystemD encrypt hooks because I know nothing. Also why not LVM? Is btrfs more flexible in partitioning when you want to extend it or shrink it? I heard that you can merge "partitions" on 2 different disks so they are visisble under one mount point.

That's sound fantastic! Interesting that you didn't mentiona anything about snapshots. Have you had some isshes with BTRFS since then?

[–] Psyhackological@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Do lsblk -f and you will know for /home or / partitions. But probably yeah. However Fedora uses btrfs as default now so depends on the distro.

Oh never heard of it. How's your environment suited for it then? Give some details please.

[–] Psyhackological@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

usability is a mixed bag

Could you please elaborate?

[–] Psyhackological@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Tell me about those stories, maybe we can debunk or prevent them today.

[–] Psyhackological@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

From the grub menu or somehow in chroot environment?

Could you please elaborate on doing backups with btrfs?
