I recently changed disk setup on my desktop computer and running RAID1 on BTRFS, this has it’s advantiges and disadvantiges, the main issue is that all data is stored in one file GW2.dat, which makes BTRFS to just read from one HDD at the time when reading the file. Had things been individual files, then files could be read from different HDDs at the same time, which makes load time a lot better.
Would it be possible to get support (or if there already is a such), which makes you to store all the data files directly on the file system instead of using the GW2.dat disk image?
I can see that it’s not optimal in NTFS, but would benefit everyone using EXT4, BTRFS, XFS, JFS as their file system.
Thanks in advance for an (official) answer.
