I saw this post today on Reddit and was curious to see if views are similar here as they are there.

  1. What are the best benefits of self-hosting?
  2. What do you wish you would have known as a beginner starting out?
  3. What resources do you know of to help a non-computer-scientist/engineer get started in self-hosting?

My only experience with btrfs was when trying out Opensuse Tumbleweed. Within a couple days my home partition was busted, next time it was another partition. No idea if the problems could be fixed as these were fairly new installations to give Opensuse a try and I couldn't be bothered to fix a system that's troubling me from the very beginning.

Between all the options that just work (TM), btrfs is the one I've learned to stay away from.

EDIT: that was four or five years ago

And I’ve been using it for ~~eight~~ six of those 15 in RAID 5/6 with zero issues, so YMMW I guess. Sorry you experienced problems.
