Also, title: "Entire HR team terminated".

First paragraph: "This led to the firing of half the HR department."

Either this error is due to clickbait purposes, or AI

Apparently it works great on WSL

Ironically they can factually make that statement now as well.

I configured BTRFS for my data a couple of years ago on my Debian machine. It's using RAID10 - and the RAID 5/6 issue was widely known back then so I did not dare to touch that.

I must say that (fingers crossed) until now I haven't had any issues with it. There have been a couple of unclean shutdowns that haven't led to any corruptions. Scrub runs every couple of weeks and on top of that the data has an offline (external disk) and off-site (rsync.net through borgbackup) backup. I'm not expecting BTRFS to let me down, but if it does I have recovery options. I tend to be very careful with my 17+ years of photo archives, especially since I'm generating hundreds of megabytes of new content every week since my daughter was born.

It definitely doesn't look good that RAID 5/6 is broken, but I feel very safe using the other stable RAID modes.

Sometimes I'm dreaming of setting up ZFS - however the downside of that is that it doesn't live in the kernel and you're forced to work with kernel modules. It's certainly doable, but since I had a kernel module issue with Wireguard a few months ago I'll be "looking the cat out of the tree" for a bit more before I decide if I actually want to make the move. For now BTRFS feels stable for me, so until that changes - or the benefits of ZFS increase by a fair amount - I'll probably stay on this.
