Linda recommends XFS. Personally I find it too fiddly.
I still have machines running reiserfs. I've had it crash, once years ago, but never lost any data. When btrfs died I lost data to the point where it wouldn't run. But because it was basically just the OS, (and a few unfortunately placed scripts) I was able to just reinstall and get it all back from backups that I keep on my NAS. Because I wanted encryption, I went with xfs for /home and one other critical partition that I use for source code. Those two partitions were not affected, only my btrfs / (root) and all of it's subvolumes. So I nuked only that btrfs root partition and went back to ext4, retaining my xfs partitions. I haven't found anything to fiddle with xfs nor any reason to fiddle with it. Its what I had, so I kept it. With BTRFS I was never sure how much room/free space I had available, how many snapshots I should keep, etc. I never understood why they chose to implement so many sub-directories of root as sub-volumes, when all those sub-volumes were drawing on the same free space pool! I'm letting it mature and letting the tool set mature so that Joe User has a chance of understanding what is going on, or it gets to the state of Reiserfs where you just don't have to worry about it. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
