How does the fact that I use one particular distro or another, reflect on my ability to (easily) back up and restore my 10 TB storage arra= y? "You should maintain backups anyway so you could easily restore" -- yeah I = do, and they are in a remote location over a relatively slow link. I chose Ext4 instead of the other options which seemed more attractive (primarily XFS, but also JFS) for this array back when creating it a long t= ime ago, when Btrfs was still in its much earlier days than now, **SPECIFICALLY= ** with the intent to use btrfs-convert "as soon as Btrfs somewhat matures". So as time went, it did, I acted on this plan, and everything went just perfec= tly. Why are people so quick to project "If I don't need this, nobody likely doe= s". Btrfs-convert is an amazing feature and it will be extremely sad if it ever goes away. --=20 With respect, Roman --Sig_/u63wHCCZQfSiZCgg6Ec.3yy Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlZEnY4ACgkQTLKSvz+PZwixkQCeKKBhiTexcoiuu/he4WuPEs5t F/YAn0h/jbTV4WOJFIKQlvGVwQEVFec4 =emrl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/u63wHCCZQfSiZCgg6Ec.3yy--
