@jonathankoren @neurovagrant Yeah, and AFAICT they mostly support #btrfs, #ext2 / #ext3 / #ext4, #FAT32 and maybe #ExFAT in some cases where the vendor paid $$ per device to #Microsoft.

Mainline #Linux ≠ #Android #toybox / #linux!
As I've gutted most out of the kernel for #OS1337 myself...

@neurovagrant same...

I did the ardurous process of migrating all my stuff from #NTFS to #LUKS-encrypted #ext4 on all drives and it just works so flawlessly on every Linux machine...

In fact, there are even Apps for those, but they can only deal file containers, not encrypted drives...

But to shove just media around, #ext4 will work just fine...

@neurovagrant you're welcome...

AFAIK even "modern" #Windows Versions can handle #ext4 and #btrfs with the "Linux Subsystem for Windows" [correct name since it's Linux on Windows!]

@neurovagrant Because #Microsoft patented #NTFS and thus #Linux can't officially support it.

You can thank the assholes that patented it for that.

Also unless you #root your android and build a custom #Kernel with #FUSE support you can't use ntfs-3g.

Consider using #btrfs or #ext4 instead.

Since #btrfs doesn’t support ‘FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE’ and ‘FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE’ that I need, I’m running #xfs and #ext4 on loop devices ontop of btrfs and doing local development and testing there. Feels a bit cursed, but it works.

Por cierto, parece que tendré que reformatear mi disco porque #ZFS sí me consume mucha RAM (tengo 8GB y en reposo se consume poco más de la mitad).

En foros veo es un problema recurrente, que sí tiene parece ser una explicación lógica pero al menos yo no la termino de entender.

Además mi swap no lo configuré a consciencia y es de solo 2 GB.

Volveré al típico #ext4.

@MartinWdd Moin! #lvm nutze ich auch. Dann je nach Distribution #ext4 oder #xfs .

#ReiserFS fliegt 2025 aus dem Linux-Kernel raus. Vor vielen Jahren fand ich das Dateisystem noch ganz toll, inzwischen gibt es einfach viel bessere Alternativen.
Ich nutze bei meinen Linux-Systemen eigentlich immer #ext4 mit #LVM - was nehmt Ihr so?

"resize2fs: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to resize /dev/mapper/drive"

Full output: https://jason.nabein.me/private/drive-partition-error.txt

Utterly stumped on solving this drive mount issue. Other drives have resized without issue, no lost files or mangled hashsums, but this one particular drive is giving me trouble... and nothing online gives a conclusive answer...

Anyone know how to roll this back?

Are there standard #Debian 12 images for the #Olimex #Pioneer ready for download? I.e. a base system without the #Freedombox software, which I currently do not need?

https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Hardware/PioneerEdition

Ideally with #ext4, not #btrfs? I'm too lazy to build it myself 😞 TIA!

@koakuma That being said, it sounds like you're not on some #CoW #filesystem (since the filesystem is under suspicion, rather than only ill-designed #git).

If you're on #ext3 / #ext4, add data=journal, metadata_csum and journal_checksum (the last two are ext4-only) to your mount options, it's quite important to have some bare minimum of usability (still won't help with partial writes, you need transactionality for that).

Does partitioning or formatting a partition on an external hdd on ubuntu erase the whole disk? #partitioning #harddrive #ext4 #diskformatting

#FileSystems #Journaling #exFAT

"#FAT and FAT variants are fairly reliable, but will occasionally corrupt a file.
#NTFS is robust and reliable, but when it breaks, it breaks hard and recovery/repair is about a 50/50 possibility. #EXT4 is very robust and almost never corrupts a file. Repair and recovery in those rare cases is almost always successful. ZFS is solid. I've never run into problems with it.
HFS+ is the worst file system ever created."

People frequently say they don’t want #ZFS on their workstation because it’s a server FS. But what’s the best workstation FS? #UFS, #Ext4, #HAMMER, #Btrfs, #XFS? What’s the going benchmark workload look like? What subjective aspects matter too? (And yes, I know about damned lies of https://fsbench.filesystems.org/)

@CobaltVelvet I have a hot take:

#RAID controllers are trash and should not exist.

Consider buying an #HBA [Hostbus - Adaptor] instead, and use a real #Filesystem [#btrfs, #ext4] with actual Raid [#dnraid] or even better use #ZFS with it's #ZRAID option...

After reading up on BTRFS and some experiments in VMs, I think for my proposed deploy - Debian 12 as the sole OS on a single SSD (with loads of free space) on my laptop - for the time being I'm going to stick with using LUKS + LVM + separate LVs for root and home using ext4 on both. BTRFS adds a layer of complexity in exchange for features (such as snapshots and compression) I would personally have little use for.

Interesting stuff this copy-on-write (COW), though.

#btrfs #ext4 #debian

The arrival of Debian 12 has encouraged me to rethink of how I typically do things in Linux.

First up: filesystems. All my computers currently use ext4.

For a laptop with a single drive and Debian as the sole OS which is "better": btrfs or ext4? Something else?

Hmm ... Time to do some homework!
