Comment on Every single time I think of restructuring my homelab storage. What do you use for storage engines and how does it benefit you?

Backups… with LVM, if you’re trying to do a full system backup (ie with clonezilla, etc) then you have to backup the whole thing - you can’t backup just 1 drive.

I have a media server with 2x 2TB HDDs and 1x SSD in a LVM, split into Music, Video, TV… and the OS … and I can backup the individual files of course, but I can’t backup just the OS drive.

btrfs didn’t exist when I created it, but I use it on my NAS and it’s great.

I’ll be rebuilding my media server one day and change LVM to btrfs.
