ZFS: 🙂
I wish the licensing would be Linux compatible
Overall solid but BTRFS has the advantage of being Linux native in the way it works. Right now I wouldn't use btrfs for a critical raid system but it is great for single disks.
Isn’t OpenZFS compatible though?
I believe the license isn’t, and would be next to impossible the change.
Thanks, TIL. I always assumed the Open version originated on OpenBSD, and therefore licensed under a BSD license. So TrueNAS is technically violating the licenses by using it in their Linux based systems?
Oh Ubuntu even had an edition that defaulted to ZFS. The license violation ship has sailed.
This is the way
That surgeon general's warning sent me into a giggle fit.
Hot format. Invest invest INVEST
What's the problem with btrfs really?
It is nice but it also feels like it is perpetually unfinished. Is there some major flaw in the design?
Mostly just the RAID5 and 6 instability, it's fantastic otherwise. But I'm kinda excited to try out bcachefs pretty soon, as well.
I'm zoomed in to read what they're saying on the bottom right and was disappointed.
Friends don’t let friends use filesystem level deduplication.
What BTRFS stand for? (Wrong answers only)
Breast, Thighs, and Ribs For Supper
Buttered Toast and Recursive Folder Shenanigans
Bro The RAID Fuckin Sucks
Wow an acronym nested in another acronym.
Better FS
Unfortunately, no. FOSS devs are notoriously known for picking bad names for their projects and BTRFS is no exception. The official name is Butter FS, likely because it’s supposed to make your experience smooth, yet anyone who tried to use its RAID5/6 implementations can tell you that it’s furthest from the truth.
Who needs RAID when you have mergerfs
Wow! Didn’t know they had this back then. Very cool.
IDK what they mean by better ssd I/O performance, btrfs was the worst FS I tested for some heavy SSD workloads (like writing thousands of little pngs in short time, file searches, merging huge weights with some paging)…
The features are fantastic, especially for HDDs, but it’s an inherently high overhead FS.
ext4 was also bad. F2FS and XFS are great, and I've stuck with F2FS for now.
