I would like to know, for those of you that use either primary or secondary a Linux system, which filesystem did you opt for when installing and why?
Butter is great for instant backups like @Numeriku said. But those snapshots are saving on the system partition. So if the system partition goes bad, your backups went bad, too.Thats the thing i have one in Butter one in Ext 4 trying to weight out if i really need butter.
Didn't try it yet but does not butter have built-in raid options, instead of the default raid 0, with 2 disks he can technically have raid 1 setup but I suspect @Soulbound wants to make full use of his two disks.Butter is great for instant backups like @Numeriku said.

I also found Butter to be a real pain to chroot into. I could never get that to work.
It does have raid capabilities, however it is recommended not to go beyond a raid 0, or 1 atm. While it can technically do a raid 5, 6. etc...there are some issues currently with the BTRFS file-system going beyond a raid 0/1. I believe they are trying to rectify the issues, but it still is a work in progress if I am not mistaken.Didn't try it yet but does not butter have built-in raid options, instead of the default raid 0, with 2 disks he can technically have raid 1 setup but I suspect @Soulbound wants to make full use of his two disks.
