How to set up overprovisioning
Hi, My system has a bunch of SSDs, when I went through the bazzite setup it created a volume with all the ssds automatically, I've since installed some steam games etc
1.14 TiB / 4.57 TiB (25%) - btrfs [Read-only]
I'm a bit worried that this will fill up all my ssds in sequence which will lead to poor performance and longevity
I'd like some advice on how to either set up overprovisioning without a reinstall, or advice on how I can disable this volume and just use the drives in a way I'm familiar with from windows...

you are correct it will fill all the ssds in sequence, your option is to reinstall and dont select all the disks this time (this will require wiping all the ssds with
wipefs -a /dev/sdXy or whatever the nodes are for the ssds).
this is a dumb thing that the anaconda installer does if the user selects more than 1 disk during install and we cannot control that....1 Reply
