I'm no expert in Btrfs, but I wouldn't say there is much advantage in using it for a media server, given that the snapshotting, subvolume features, COW etc. aren't really going to matter. Media servers are almost entirely read-dominated. Other opinions are available of course. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
