Asking advice for home storage configuration

Hi all. I’m trying to choose a configuration for my home storage. Speed is not a priority, I want a balance of stability and performance. I was thinking of making a raid 6 array with an ext4 file system for 4 disks of 2 TB each. Asking for advice, will this configuration be optimal?...

PigeonCatcher OP ,

Yeah, i am going to use off-site backup as well. Is snapshotting a thing in ext4 setup? don’t wanna go with btrfs, i heard that raid 6 with it goes bad.

PigeonCatcher OP ,

Oh, found out that I can use LVM for taking ext4 snapshots!

PigeonCatcher OP ,

Yeah, I know there are issues with growing ZFS raidz. Gonna reconsider it.
