<div>That is a good point. I've been using BTRFS Raid 6
across 6 1TB drives for over a year now with (knock on
wood) no issues. I did this because of the simplicity of
setting up RAID under BTRFS and for me at least that is
the biggest attraction. Maybe I'm mistaken, but there
almost seemed (and still is, IMO) an active discouragement
for people to use this configuration. You're not going to
attract people to use and test something if you
simultaneously tell them it is toxic. Also, you can't
jump from don't use it, it isn't safe to ok, let's make it
the system default. </div>

I also use raid (d=raid0, m=raid1) and it is nice to have a
multidevice btrfs volume where you can add an additional device to
the volume and also have btrfs shuffle the data to spread it over
all the devices.<br>
<br>
Also, if there are bugs then they need to be discovered and fixed.
They will not get discovered unless btrfs is used. If the btrfs
developers knew there are a bug, it would have been already fixed.<br>
