Hi guys, on my home server I have a variety of directories under a single
pool/filesystem, Cloud.
Things like
cloud/movies -> 4TB
cloud/music -> 100Gig
cloud/winbackups -> 1TB
cloud/data -> 1TB
etc.
After doing some reading, I see recomendations to have separate filesystem to
improve performance...but not sure how as it's the same pool?
Can someone help me understand if/why I should use separate file systems for
these?
ta.
Obviously, having different filesystems gives you the ability to set
different values for attributes, which may substantially improve
performance or storage space depending on the data in that filesystem.
As an example above, I would consider turning compression on for your
cloud/winbackups and possibly for cloud/data, but definitely not for
either cloud/movies (assuming mpeg4 or similar files) or cloud/music.
