Hallo, Felix,

Du meintest am 07.05.12:

Yes - I know. But btrfs promises that I can add bigger disks and delete  
smaller disks "on the fly". For something like a video collection which  
will grow on and on an interesting feature. And such a (big) collection  
does need a "gradfather-father-son" backup, that's no critical data.

With a file system like ext2/3/4 I can work with several directories  
which are mounted together, but (as said before) one broken disk doesn't  
disturb the others.

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
