Hello all,
My 718+ crashed today. "Critical Error on Storage Pool 1. Volume 1 is now in read-only mode". So I just wanted to get opinions on if I should stay with the BTRFS file system or go back to ext4 as I rebuild my NAS again. This is the 2nd time this has happened.
I thought that BTRFS was supposed to be much more stable and was supposed to have built-in protections to keep these kinds of problems from happening. I have no options for troubleshooting or repairing the file system. The only option it is giving me is to remove the Volume and create a new one, essentially wiping all my data. I luckily have a complete backup of my data, but it is going to take DAYS to copy it all back over. If this was a NAS used in a business, this would be a devastating, unacceptable event.
Both of my hard drives are showing Normal and Healthy. I think a scheduled Data Scrubbing triggered this failure, as it says "Unable to run data scrubbing because the storage pool is in abnormal status. Should I not ever set the volume to perform data scrubbing?
So what do you guys think about staying with BTRFS? I am on the fence about switching back to ext4 and never using BTRFS again.

Secondary thought: I have always used SHR for my RAID type. I will probably change it to RAID 1 from here on out, as I just read that BTRFS doesn't support SHR as far as all the file-system anti-corruption methods go. Maybe that is my file-system point of failure.
