Containers migrated to BTRFS + SSD

Hi All,

As we move to our third-generation infrastructure, I am currently migrating containers to BTRFS+SSD (from ZFS and HDD+Optane) which may result in up to an hour of downtime, especially if you have a lot of data stored in your containers. But the result will be much, much, much faster IO. So if you have seen your uptime on your container change recently, this is why.

Best,

Daniel

Hi,

I see two small issues since the migration :

  1. /usr/srv/linux symlink was broken on my container, ln -s host/linux linux fixed it.
  2. disk usage is not related to container anymore, do you know if we can monitor it ? It helps keep instances lower on disk usage :-)
