No. The LVM partition will be slower than a pure ext4. But it has some advantages like an ability to move data from one disk/partition to another or make a parity RAID without a downtime… But it has zero tolerance to bitrot unlike ZFS or BTRFS (in the Synology implementation only though). But… > [@Doh.. Looks like hardware failure coming up!](https://forum.storj.io/t/doh-looks-like-hardware-failure-coming-up/16181/14): > > I would not highlight this feature as zfs-only. You can do that on any nowadays FS/LVM which supports RAID. I would say that btrfs is working much faster than zfs and even pure ext4. But their RAID is a mess. And btrfs is still not production-ready. I would strongly recommend to avoid it in the next 5-10 years (accordingly their velocity on fixing a major bugs). I managed to lost data in the test environment on btrfs single during expand, what’s never happened neither with zfs or LVM. I made … --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.storj.io/t/help-with-node-optimizations-best-practices/25279)._
