I am going to install 42.3 on a computer whose hard disk I want to erase completely to change partitioning. This gives me the chance to choose the file system.
So far, I used ext4 only. But recently I read more about XFS and btrfs. But I know too little about them. Are they better than ext4? Or worse? Can you tell me something about their advantages and possible defects? Are there bugs?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I haven't suffered a single filesystem corruption or file loss since moving to ext2 from reiserfs sometime around SuSE 10.0. Stay with ext4.
I haven't moved from reiserfs and I haven't suffered a problem either, although I do use XFS as well, and my root is now btrfs. The one that gave me grief in the day was ZFS. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
