Subject: advice for testing fileserver
Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2012 13:19:47 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <k2nrrj$voq$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
I'm building a test file server using samba 3.6 to see if BTRFS is a good
fit. I want to stress that this is a test setup for now.
I'm trying to get an idea of the sub-volume concept and how it relates to
the LVM concept. Trying to see what might be the best practice.
I was going to create one of two configs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
##
option 1
sda1 -> /boot using ext4
sda2 is LV sysvg, this will include:
lvroot -> / using ext4
lvvar -> /var using ext4
lvopt -> /opt using ext4
lvhome -> /home using btrfs
lvsrv -> /srv using btrfs
I could create sub-volumes in srv for each samba share.
##
option 2
sda1 -> /boot using ext4
sda2 is LV sysvg, this will include:
lvroot -> / using ext4
lvvar -> /var using ext4
lvopt -> /opt using ext4
sda3 -> /home using btrfs
sda4 -> /srv using btrfs
both /home and /srv can create their own sub-volumes for each homedir and
each share.

Does BTRFS work fine within a LV? Is there an advantage to keep BTRDS out
or in a LV? Does all this make no sense? and I really should just create
one big BTRFS partition and only use sub-volumes?
