Russell Coker: BTRFS Rebuild Time


↺ Russell Coker: BTRFS Rebuild Time


> In February I replaced a Dell T320 server with a HP Z640 workstation for a home server/workstation [1]. The T320 has 8*3.5″ drive bays which I had used to put 3*4TB disks in a BTRFS RAID-10 array for 6TB of usable capacity. The Z640 has only 2*3.5″ bays and 4*2.5″ bays, so one option I could have taken was to buy a 4TB 2.5″ SSD and keep the same 3*4TB array as before. Instead I chose to use an 8TB disk I had spare in an array with one of the original 4TB disks and some extra on NVMe devices (the system has 2*1TB NVMe devices which are used as a 380G RAID-1 for the root filesystem and the rest for the storage array). It’s nice how BTRFS allows putting any storage you have in a RAID-10 configuration.
