Understood. I have so much time/effort invested in my system that I don’t want to have to go back and redo all that stuff. It’s not any one thing - it’s just the totality of getting the system into a state where it works for me. I’d hate to reinvent that wheel - I could do it - but I wouldn’t want to.
BTW - what does btrfs do to make your life better or more exciting?
LOL! Probably nothing. However, It's supposed to be faster, and more robust. I have a friend that uses ZFS on BSD and he keeps bragging about how good it is. I just want something that is as good or better.
btrfs does have copy-on-write, though, so data corruption is minimized, volume resizing is built in, and I believe it is generally a faster filesystem. We'll see.
Besides, I also don't need LVM, so if I can get rid of that, then that is one less thing running on my system.

I can understand that. I'm currently in the process of trying to organize what my tasks will be upon re-install. Also, I have to consider that I use my laptop for work as well, so there are things there to think about. /home is just the beginning. :)
