After being hosed by #btrfs on #linux 7.0.1, the #atomdrift postgresql master database is on #OmniOS & #ZFS

It's good to be back, even if I'm rusty in Solaris-based environments.

@synlogic4242 I once had to get myself out of a sticky situation with UFS softupdates [long before it was a default], but that was 26 years ago, and 'truncate -s 0' worked then.

It doesn't in #btrfs

Well, this is a new one for me - I'm not very familiar with #btrfs; but I wouldn't have expected running out of disk space to be unrecoverable - especially in single-user mode without booting alternative media. rm just hangs.

I've worked with a dozen #UNIX flavors over the last 32 years. This is special.

Been playing with Solus Linux recently. I like that things like installing Blender also pulls in AMD rocm clr and friends and gets Cycles support working without any real futzing around.

The Solus installer doesn't give a lot of filesystem options, err, perhaps more fairly, options that I like. No zfs and simple btrfs. I converted the root disk into a btrfs raid1 mirror after the fact but it would be cool if that was possible in the installer. Maybe I missed it. I can live with btrfs, I guess. Ha.

Running the Plasma spin (for now?). Will take a hard look at Qt based Budgie 11 when it comes out.

Very nice, polished distro. Thinking about putting it on my main box since I've got btrfs retroactive mirroring figured out. First time using (i.e. trusting) btrfs so maybe I should let some more water go under Solus' keel before going 'all in'.

Too bad Alpine doesn't have the same level of rocm support. I get it. It is what it is.

Habe mein neues Fedora nun übrigens mal mit btrfs aufgesetzt. Mal sehen, wann ich das bereue 🙃.

Btrfs ist bei Fedora nun der Standard.

#fedora #btrfs

I tried tuning various parameters but after some reading came to the conclusion that lots of small files with very little RAM is about the worst case scenario for XFS.
