[opensuse] Understanding Linux filesystems: ext4 and beyond (link to article)
*Understanding Linux filesystems: ext4 and beyond* Learn the history of ext4, including what's different from ext3 and the other filesystems that came before it. https://opensource.com/article/18/4/ext4-filesystem «The majority of modern Linux distributions default to the ext4 filesystem, just as previous Linux distributions defaulted to ext3, ext2, and—if you go back far enough—ext.» «If you're new to Linux—or to filesystems—you might wonder what ext4 brings to the table that ext3 didn't. You might also wonder whether ext4 is still in active development at all, given the flurries of news coverage of alternate filesystems such as btrfs, xfs, and zfs.» «We can't cover everything about filesystems in a single article, but we'll try to bring you up to speed on the history of Linux's default filesystem, where it stands, and what to look forward to.» (continues on the link) -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E.

Yes - the last part was specially interesting :-) It got more technical, and the comparison with advanced filesystems. Not thorough, not the intention. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

I still liked ReiserFS. Never had a problem with it. Lost a complete install with EXT4. Oh well, rolling on brtfs now, we'll see.. I realize this is a point of view vs facts, but still my experience and impression.
