Btrfs is a great filesystem for proxmox in raid 1. Stop telling people not to use it (lemmy.zip)

Btrfs gets a bad rap sometimes but I have been using it for years and it works very well. It is able to take failing hardware and power outages and still has good performance.

I love it for single drives, but for RAID, ZFS all the way.

ZFS also supports single drives, is there a reason to use btrfs instead?

IIRC it works with TimeShift, aka time machine for Linux.
