Yep, me again.
You know that line from the James Bond books?
“Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.”
I saw Btrfs die so many times, I know what to suspect.
The official internal guidance was: give it all your disk space. Make the volumes so big that they will never fill up.
Well, if I could trust it, I might, but I know I can't trust it, so I want my data safe somewhere else. And the company wouldn't provide me with 2 or 3 disk drives so `/home` could live on another physical volume.
And once you've watched your primary work OS self-destruct again, well, if you're me, you reinstall with dual-boot so you have something else to fall back on if it happens again. As it did happen again. Repeatedly.

OK, my bad. Brain/finger error.

Slashpkg means DJB's thing?

That sounds fantastic. Thanks. I had never heard of this before.
Re Gobo -- yes please. I love that little distro.
