the_third, 1 year ago (edited 1 year ago) Not much time, I’ll be brief with three examples that come to mind from my experience: Great use: Large filestorage with regular changes, daily snapshots, stream snapshots offsite as backup. Not so great use: Storage backend for qcow2 backed VMs on spinning RAID. CoW made a mess of access times. Really not great use: Large Postgres-DB with queries that creted large ondisk temp tables. It really depends.
