Just about all of my linux partitions on at least 3 machines have all used ext4 . . . it was even suggested in openSUSE back when that "ext4 was more stable than btrfs" yes..some years back that was probably true, but thats history
Yep, this is what I know as well and there is a reason that (open)SUSE install btrfs by default since more than 10 years 🧐
. . . . I don't see the point to just change the format . . . unless you are doing a fresh install . . . then, OK. btrfs offer so many advantages, just looking at the snapshot functionality...boot into an old snapshot, snapper rollback, and issues like broke updates are solved.
Yep, I work on this machine with a ext4 over mdadm with Raid1 for root. According my experiance it is much more easy to use there a btrfs (direct with Raid1 or over mdadm). Especially due to the fact that a resize and check of a btrfs system is possible on a running system and also size reduction is possible (which is sometimes required).
(with no intend to sart a discussion ext4 vs btrfs...)
Me nicer. And especially in this case a rollback would be so much easier than this about 2 days with > 8h to find the fix. Ulf
