VirtualBox VMs for network and testing lab VMs for workĪnd it would be perfect - KVM is definitely ideal choice for such workload - it's headless so X crash wouldn't damage RAID, it performs great and it'd be awesome if.KVM virtual machine for RAID support using virtio.Before I tested if NFS is compatible with all btrfs functionality and it is so cool - everything should work great. Thus I'm planning to delegate RAID support to VM and export it back to host over NFS. So I need stable OS here - which collides with btrfs bleeding edge kernel requirement. Primary host OS is isolated from the internet and performs many important tasks I relay on. All my machines are btrfs based so for compatibility reasons it absolutely makes sense to use btrfs also for RAID.

However I installed 12 bay software RAID6 array which is supposed to be btrfs based (kernel 4.12 introduces patches for RAID56) so I need bleeding edge kernel. Also it's easy to use and my job requires me to set up LOTS of virutalized environments for testing software.

I'm running workstation that heavily relies on virtualization.
