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 ? Or when doing a local mirror? In that case one isn't interested in the possibility of a roll-back. But more in general overhead caused by intermediate inodes and so-on.
And i presume that having mbox on btrfs isn't a good idea either.
Any bright idea's when to use what FS?
Hans
personally, I use ext3 or ext4 depending on a few factors mostly internal polictys. I personally think btrfs is to new, and XFS is making MUCH better progress. and its tool and support chain are much farther along. my 2 cents..... -Nex6
