[Wylug-discuss] Btrfs home server

[Scott Hodgson]

Hi

Wanting to know what peoples thoughts are on setting up the filesystem on a home server.
Got a 2 x 1tb hard drives setup for raid1. 
I want to use Linux containers for some websites so tried BTRFS. I used sda2 for uefi sda2 as BTRFS for /. Sda2 was then put in raid with BTRFS and sub volumes added.
To test, I unplugged one of the drives but upon a reboot it went straight to initramfs shell. I sorted that by adding degraded to fstab and grub, however even though the partitions have the same uuid, it doesn't boot for one of the drives which makes me fear I could lose the information.
Now I want the function of Btrfs but a bit more easy to use FS. My options are have a root partition and a /var partition and then make them BTRFS or other suggestions of a FS. Though do I use mdadm raid or btrfs raid or zfs raid? What are my options? Anyone have a solution? All opinions welcome.

Thanks

Scktt
