Been there, done that, and lost data. If you can't afford 2 @ 2 TB disks right now, get a replacement 1 TB disk until you can.
I plan to buy a new 2TB disk and the old 1TB disk use as additional storage, but this time to put XFS (under lvm2) on all disks (my desktop has UPS unit), but wonder what do you think about using XFS for root partition as well, iow. if Debian supports it and/or what should I do when migrating partitions (using gparted) or is initrd automactically detecting lvm2 volumes?
I found that the Wheezy installer offers btrfs (xfs also?), but only boots ext[234].
Jessie might be able to boot btrfs and/or xfs, but I ran into video problems on several machines with Jessie.
My goal is ECC memory, RAID1, and checksummed file systems (btrfs, zfs) on all my computers. All it takes is time and money. ;-)
