Post #2968434

I built my own NAS from Arch (btw) and wanted to just install standard packages and use standard tools (ie gparted, clonezilla, etc). I've got btrfs RAID5 running fine. Had loads of power outages (we had water meeting electrics) and have no problems at all. Of course, RAID is not a backup, so all my important stuff is on Hetzner too. I don't really follow the ZFS news, but I understand that resizing / adding new drives is / was a problem, plus, back when I built this, I would've needed kernel patching... there's a higher chance of those causing a problem - for my use case - than btrfs, so if you're like me, just crack on and enjoy the easy life.
