Hi all,
I was wondering when should one choose ext4 and when btrfs...
Ofcourse i've googling for it, but in some comparisons they only measure throughput in general. I agree that _is_ important, but i presume other factors also play a role... When dealing with config files (in "/etc/.." or so) it is probably very handy to be able to do a roll-back.
But when dealing with a large collection of ISO's ? Last time I checked, XFS worked better for larger files, things might have changed in the meanwhile though.
I use BTRFS daily and while it usually works, the error handling is still sketchy to say the least and will BUG or panic in such cases.. but to be fair, it has improved significantly in recent kernels.
Filesystem corruption is also a possibility, personally I got hit once in the last months and took me a while to figure out I needed to zero the filesystem log to keep going. fsck will not help you in that case.
Well, I know it's a little passe, but I've been using reiserfs for about 4 years and love it. The recovery is great ! And I've never had it totally go belly up on me !
