Btrfs gets a bad rap sometimes but I have been using it for years and it works very well. It is able to take failing hardware and power outages and still has good performance.
You're viewing a single thread.
For those without knowledge: Alternatives to BTRFS are what? EXT4 or NTFS?
Mostly ZFS, XFS and ext4
Correct, btrfs is a filesystem format.
What are the alternatives to it? NTFS? EXT4? ExFAT? FAT32??
xfs. ext4 doesn't have a comparable feature set, and nobody is going to use those others as their main filesystems on Linux. bcachefs will be a contender, once it's included in the kernel, or if you're the sort who compiles their own kernels.
The only file-system that is somewhat comparable to btrfs is OpenZFS. Xfs isn't.
Yeah, zfs is what I meant. Or yfs, as in "Y-use anything but btr-FS?"
Seems like zfs or btrfs?
At least I usually read about storage file system usually being ZFS by default.ZFS has been around for a long time. Rock solid w RAID. See FreeNAS. ZFS was orig on BSD but AFAIK got ported to Linux a while back.
It now TrueNAS and both freebsd and Linux use the same implementation (openzfs)
