En vieläkään oikein tiedä, mitä #tiedostojärjestelmä'ä #Linux'issa pitäisi #irtokiintolevy'illä kuten muistitikuilla käyttää. Yleensä olen käyttänyt #ext4:ää ilman #journaali'a, mutta en ole lainkaan varma, onko se optimaalinen. #exfat tietysti sopisi muuten kuin nyrkki hanuriin, mutta #käyttöoikeudet menisivät vinksin vonksin. #floss #muistitikku #atkjuttuja

What do you do when NTFS fails you?
Reinstall then restore. Here the installation is on the metal of course just win10 running isolated & air gapped
Today I learned the following. Journaling and journaling are two separate distinctly separate manners of keeping file systems in Sync.
When microsoft talks about journaling in NTFS you should never, ever think about the robust journaling system that Ext4 has
In comparison EXT4 journaling is a god while en NTFS journaling is not even an ant
I have EXT4 file systems connected to an extremely unstable machine. This thing crashes to green screens more than 64 times a day.
{It's a Gigabyte Mini PC in case you're interested never buy those. The machine came with overheating errors from the beginning. The factory installed a fan for the APU which is not even suitable for a GPU that was made a decade ago}
I've not even lost one bit of data on those EXT4 file systems.
Those NTFS file systems with journaling? I lost all of them. All NTFS file systems were lost
I didn't lose data because I have backups the file systems just keeled over simply because the machine kept rebooting
Thank you for being so robust EXT4
A bunch more manual xfs repairs over the past week. In contrast, there's been exactly zero ext4 or btrfs manual fsck's needed for the same environments. All with some flavor of EL8 or EL9 on two different storage platforms (Ceph, Longhorn). Still no idea what's causing it, but xfs continues to be the outlier.
BtrFS
completely sucks & i shall never again make the error of using it instead of ext4
.
so been using arch for the past few days...
couple things I like and don't like...
I don't do much gaming, theming, tweaks, no custom kernels, no extra fonts, none of that for me, so I am interested on the longevity and stability going forward. So far I am impressed. Using ext4 so backups should be pretty basic.
@farooqkz Having read-write capability for a non-native #fileSystem does not mean all the features would be supported.
Written other way, I would be wary of using #EXT4 on #FreeBSD for longer time than needed as I do not think all the journaling support is available. I would love to be wrong on this!
UFS of FreeBSD is different than of OpenBSD; cannot interchangeably use them. Also https://freeradical.zone/@ax6761/114130069307988012 .
Thanks @vkc

For those who want something close to Debian testing, #siduction (by default #KDE #Plasma6) might be worth a try. It is unstable (Codename: Sid), thus before testing. This means it is tested but, it is certainly not as stable as testing.
But here is the twist. Use it with #btrfs or #timeshift and #ext4 to have efficient tools for a rollback once it breaks (and it will break sporadically) and you should be good.

So, I'm currently installing WSL in an attempt to get Windows 11 to view various ext4 filesystems, as I do a lot of stuff with Rasperry Pi machines. This feels...kinda wrong. I hope it works though. I know just enough to be dangerous, but not enough to be a true expert.
I wonder if anyone can help me with a #Linux #USB issue. I’ve got a new flash drive on which I want to put a Linux directory structure on {with #EXT4, encrypted if possible). However, using the #GNOME #disks utility to #Format it apparently works but when I go into the disk’s root directory, I can’t create any files – I get an input/output error. If I reformat the disk as a #FAT (windows(disk then it works again and so I’m thinking there must be some problem with the utility I’m using.
Here’s a thought I’ve just had on file systems for #Linux: if I have no need for advanced features like subvolumes or snapshots or built-in support for multiple devices, is there really a point to thinking about which file systems is good for an Average Jane such as myself? I don’t exactly consider myself lacking in bandwidth, so surely the difference only starts to matter at scale? #btrfs #ext4 #xfs
Guess who'll have to format a #selfhosted server today! In related news, good thing I have daily backups. In other related news, I was today years old when I learned #Btrfs was considerably slower by default than #Ext4
Sinceramente, esto es algo que no entiendo, ya que #EXT4 es el sistema de ficheros empleado de manera predeterminada por las tres distribuciones #Linux más utilizadas en entornos domésticos: #Ubuntu, #LinuxMint y #Debian. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Limine-9.0-Released
