My main concern is the possibility of data loss. I don't know how much
is FUD and how much is legit so to me it seems safest to see what
OpenSuSE uses and to mimic that a bit (in terms of not using most of the
features available).
That said, I use btrfs with no subvolumes with compression turned on and
I'm pretty happy with that.
Two more things:
/var/guix/db should probably have CoW disabled, as should /tmp
would the deduplication of btrfs be "better" than the deduplication from
the daemon?
