you can always have an LVM layer for atomic snapshots
- josephcsible 1y agoThere are advantages to having the filesystem do the snapshots itself. For example, if you have a really big file that you keep deleting and restoring from a snapshot, you'll only pay the cost of the space once with Btrfs, but will pay it every time over with LVM.
- shtripok 1y agoOn some of my zfs servers, the number of snapshots (mostly periodic, rotated — hour, day, month, updates, data maintenance work) is 10-12 thousand. LVM can't do that.
