zfs is actually the only good filesystem if you care about your data

Create a new pool on the smaller disk, zfs send everything over, destroy old pool, rename new pool to old pool, add larger disk as mirror
Don't use mirrors though, mirrors are susceptible to double failures. To store all your porn at home use a large number of disks in raidz2 or raidz3

lol if you think zfs cares about the fact you don't have a second SAS enclosure hanging around. Just lmao.

Go back to your scrub filesystem built for floppy drives or let reiser kill your wife or something and think before you make your volume next time.

i've never once used an os and thought to myself "hey, this file system is pretty bad/good"

like, as long as I click "file -> save" and it works then whatever!

snapshots sound neat. i guess if you are coming from btrfs then the file system actually working is good too

At my first lovely job there were a lot of old dudes. More than once I'd have to hear about some old white brag about all the partitions he would make for his compy. Partition for data, partition for windows 98, partition for widows xp, partitions for games, partition for data, and so on and so forth. i bet they resize partitions all the time using their partition magic or whatever.

Same dudes would also talk about running ccleaner and registry cleaners and other bullshit lol.

ccleaner is decent software. windows still leaves a bunch of installer garbage all over the system and you can recover a couple gigs now and then with it

i just ran it and recovered 2 gigs, including 800 megs of google chrome cache and 900 megs of system memory dumps and temp files

At my workplace all the old physical win2003 servers had their internal disks configured in a RAID1 mirror with a 8gb logical volume for C:\ and the rest for D:\, the argument being that all the applications would be installed on D: and it was better to partition so that windows wouldn't crash when the drive ran out of space :cry:

It worked fine for a couple of years I guess, until we ran out of space for windows updates, and it was impossible to expand the boot volume because the data volume was in the way and since it was done on the raid controller the volume had to be one contiguous area on the disk.

At least it was a good argument for P2V-ing everything.

btrfs is fine as long as you keep away from raid56

i really hope they fix that sometime, i actually got a system with btrfs raid6 running.. it works, but i guess that's only because the disks haven't gone bad yet :ohdear:
