What Filesystem?

cianmor@lemmy.world to Linux@lemmy.ml – 87 points –

What filesystem is currently best for a single nvme drive with regard to performance read/write as well as stability/no file loss? ext4 seems very old, btrfs is used by RHEL, ZFS seems to be quite good... what do people tend to use nowadays? What is an arch users go-to filesystem?

If you're married stay away from ReiserFS.

Ah, ReiserFS. I remember when it was the cool kid's choice. Then with the murdering it went out of style. They were weird times.

It has been suggested by some that there is no relationship between Reiser murdering wives and ReiserFS murdering file systems, but most steer clear of both out of an abundance of caution.

Even now? I remember when it was new I tried it, must have been 20 or so years ago. Super fast for the time, but had a nack for randomly corrupting data. After the third reformat, I went back to ext2.

Hans Reiser murdered his wife.

Oh. I did not know that! I thought it was some vague reference to losing entire weekends fixing the corrupt data.
