After long resisting the idea, I hope to switch from ext4 to btrfs for my next installation, Leap 15.3. The openSUSE norm is btrfs for / and xfs for /home, each in separate partitions, right? But, in contrast as I understand it, it seems Fedora’s default is for a single btrfs partition for both. Why the difference? That is, why a separate /home in Leap? And why xfs rather than btrfs anyway? And a supplementary question. What are the implications if I wanted to use additional data partition(s) besides /home? Should they be in btrfs? Or xfs? Or doesn’t it matter? -- Robin K Wellington "Harbour City" New Zealand
