Afternoon all,
I am trying to come up with the smartest "partitioning" approach to accommodate my hardware. I am also wondering if I am blurring partition and raid nomenclature. I am still learning BTRFS and reading docs etc. so feel free to correct my terms if I misuse them.
Existing drives:
Label: none uuid: 07945ea5-703b-4b8c-afb5-e29036576923
Total devices 1 FS bytes used 14.26GiB
devid 1 size 927.42GiB used 17.02GiB path /dev/sda2
Label: none uuid: 7d630818-b906-462e-a131-948284a2bac2
Total devices 2 FS bytes used 160.00KiB
devid 1 size 953.87GiB used 2.01GiB path /dev/nvme0n1
devid 2 size 953.87GiB used 2.01GiB path /dev/nvme1n1
My thinking is I put the OS on sda (sda1 is the efi partition and sda2 is the root mount point for my OS) and then mirror the two nvme drives and mount it as my home directory.
I currently have everything running on sda. I found some tutorials about moving my home dir to the new raid drives via rsync.
I think it might be smarter to use the built tools like send/receive to try to move my @home dir to the new drive and then mount it with fstab? Not that there is anything wrong with rsync. I just want to learn the btrfs tools.
Is this a dumb way to accomplish my goals of redundant fast data storage and the ssd is just os and efi partitions.
Is there a best way to accomplish this? I am currently booted to a usb drive so I can move with out worrying about anything in use.
Thank you for any help and I hope this was posed in the correct thread.

I think I want to run the below command. Then update fstab and reboot? I don't think that does anything with the @home subvolume??? Or does the replace take care of that?
# btrfs replace start /dev/sda2 /dev/nvme01n1 /home
