Khurram Wadee ✅So, I’ve basically reinstalled the system from a USB drive and am now restoring <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/backups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backups</a>. Luckily, I backed up all the <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Dotfiles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dotfiles</a> and configurations and so the <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/desktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#desktop</a> is behaving as before, which is a big relief. On the up side, it’s booting a lot faster and the <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/disk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disk</a> has <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/btrfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#btrfs</a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/partition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#partition</a>, rather than <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Ext4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ext4</a>.<a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Fedora42" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fedora42</a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/F42" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#F42</a>

argv minus oneI have a machine running <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/btrfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#btrfs</a> RAID1 with two SATA SSDs.If I were to replace one of them with an NVMe SSD, would that improve performance, or would it be bottlenecked by the remaining SATA SSD?(I know mdraid has a write-mostly mode, but I don't want to use it because (1) no bitrot correction and (2) I'd rather live with a performance hit than take my chances with a fragile tower of storage layers.)<a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a>

Khurram Wadee ✅My experience with <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/FlashDrives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FlashDrives</a> recently has been mixed. I have no problem in encrypting them with <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/LUKS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LUKS</a>, using <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/cryptsetup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cryptsetup</a> or with formatting a partition with <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Btrfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Btrfs</a>, for instance, using <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/gparted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gparted</a> and doing other tinkering with <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gnome</a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/disks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disks</a>. But the problem has been with the actual drives themselves. The cheaper ones seem to have quite a few bad sectors, etc. and so they’re not really reliable for medium term storage.1/2<a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Hardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hardware</a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/StorageDevices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StorageDevices</a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unix</a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/GNU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GNU</a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fedora</a>

devSJR :python: :rstats:Thanks <a href="https://linuxmom.net/@vkc" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@vkc</a> <Start/tip nobody asked for> For those who want something close to Debian testing, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/siduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#siduction</a> (by default <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KDE</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Plasma6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plasma6</a>) might be worth a try. It is unstable (Codename: Sid), thus before testing. This means it is tested but, it is certainly not as stable as testing. But here is the twist. Use it with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/btrfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#btrfs</a> or <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/timeshift" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#timeshift</a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ext4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ext4</a> to have efficient tools for a rollback once it breaks (and it will break sporadically) and you should be good. <End/tip nobody asked for>

Scott Williams 🐧I'm debating writing a little shell wrapper to list and delete <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/btrfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#btrfs</a> snapshots, since they're generally just subvols with predictable names and this kind of thing should be more immediately intuitive than that from CLI.

LisPiPeople really should stop recommending nodatacow with <a class="hashtag" href="https://udongein.xyz/tag/btrfs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#btrfs</a> on anything they care about.

Asta [AMP]hey hey <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/FileSystem" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FileSystem</a> <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/ZFS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ZFS</a> <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/RAID" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RAID</a> <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/XFS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#XFS</a> entities! I'm looking for extremely opinionated discourses on alternatives to ZFS on Linux for slapping together a <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/JBOD" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JBOD</a> ("Just a Bunch Of Disks", "Just a Buncha Old Disks", "Jesus! Buncha Old Disks!", etc) array. I like ZFS but the fact that it's not in tree in-kernel is an issue for me. What I need most is reliability and stability (specifically regarding parity) here; integrity is the need. Read/write don't have to be blazingly fast (not that I'm mad about it). I also have one <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/proxmox" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#proxmox</a> ZFS array where a raw disk image is stored for a <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/Qemu" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Qemu</a> <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/VirtualMachine;" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VirtualMachine;</a> in the VM, it's formatted to XFS. That "seems" fine in limited testing thus far (and seems fast?, so it does seem like the defaults got the striping correct) but I kind of hate how I have multiple levels of abstraction here. I don't think there's been any change on the <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/BTRFS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BTRFS</a> front re: raid-like array stability (I like and use BTRFS for single disk filesystems but) although I would love for that to be different. I'm open to <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/LVM" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LVM</a>, etc, or whatever might help me stay in tree and up to date. Thank you!

Daniel Wayne ArmstrongEdit: I'm going with LUKS + BTRFS. Thanks for the responses!Which file system should I use for an encrypted root partition on Linux for a single disk (no RAID)?I typically use LUKS + ext4.I've also used encrypted BTRFS and ZFS but never worked with them to any extent beyond getting them setup. I see distros such as Fedora are now defaulting to using BTRFS.I'm seeking some advice: Should I stick with ext4? Or use BTRFS?
