Only you could prefer ext4 over btrfs -- and only you could believe there are "obvious" reasons for doing so.
Well, only Carlos and me. I prefer the simplicity of ext4 for the system partitions and XFS for home and data partitions. It's worked well for me since SuSE 5.2. Although I did try Reiserfs for system partitions once, that didn't end well I'm afraid. BTW, I did try btrfs once and it failed on partitions larger than 15-TB, if I remember correctly. I know, that experience doesn't map to using it on small system partitions, but it is a data point. It's a blessing that we all have choice in these matters. Regards, Lew
