I'm going to say avoid btrfs, it's still basically in beta. I want to see wide use in industry and functions like competitors - a la mdadm / vdev and ZFS have.
OpenSuse, and its commercial sister have been default using btrfs for almost a decade. The "btrfs is beta" meme is a dead horse. Its a great file system for what it was designed to do.
Factually here you are wrong. Btrfs has been around for more than 10 years and is used at scale. Meta uses it at scale in their data centers, Suse Linux uses it as their default file system and uses the btrfs rollback/roll forward as part of their enterprise offerings. Fedora uses it as its default file system too.
If you prefer/know ZFS and want to avoid btrfs because of that I get it. But no need to say that btrfs is “in beta” 😂
Fair enough. Last time I checked, I saw enough people warning against btrfs that I just figured it wasn't going to catch up to ZFS and kind of forgot about it. Now I realize that may have been awhile ago, and if it's not in RHEL, I haven't considered it as enterprise ready - which recently is changing with Red Hat / IBM losing their darn minds, but my "working knowledge" is limited on stuff I don't watch all the time.
Fair fair. This being said ZFS isn’t in RHEL either. 🤔 Poor Red hat though. I used to work there a long time ago. I’m sad to see how they went from being THE open spice company to being worse than Oracle 🤢 when it comes to source distribution.
