Is btrfs mature enough to use in enterprise applications? If you are using it, I’d like to hear from you about your experiences — good or bad.
My proposed application is for a small community radio station music library. We currently have about 5TB of data in a RAID10 using four 3TB drives, with ext4 over the RAID. So we’re about 75% full, growing at the rate of about 1TB/year, so we’ll run out of space by the end of 2018. I’m proposing to go to three 6TB drives in a btrfs/RAID5 configuration. This would give us 12TB of usable data space and hold off til the end of 2024 before needing the next upgrade. Will it work? Would I be safer with ext4 over RAID5? Thanks in advance! Rick
