>>52046587
After being disappointed by Btrfs, now I roll with ZFS.
Besides that, ext family is still good, especially for stuff like /boot and removable media.
I started using Linux (ubuntu) on thinkpad after I lost my mac,
I'm curious as what advantages does changing filesystem gives?
I always wanted to change to zfs or btrfs but what difference does it make for day to day use?
And also I can't understand these things
>Mir
What advantage does it provide ? Why soo much hype?
>Systemd
This also, soo many threads about it
Plz give your wisdom to this Linux noob

The defaults which is ntfs, ex-fat, etc. You all need to stop sperging over this shit. It's only important for servers and portability.

Why not exfat?

Why not UDF?
NTFS obviously. Fragmenting was a non-issue and even less one now thanks to SSD.
Programs like this are only possible because of NTFS. Loonics will never ever have a program that can duplicate this.

Until BTRFS or ReiserFS mature this will remain the correct answer.
>>52048735
yeah okay but what if you have no access to google and `find` takes 120 minutes to finish searching everything obviously
also you won't be able to pipe the error output to /dev/null because you don't have access to google so even the `find` output is unreadable
>>52047736

Sadly I'm a macfag so I have to put up with HFS+ which is quite possibly the worst filesystem in existence.

>>52046587

>>52046587
Btrfs, it is only a matter of time until it becomes the file system of choice for most distros. The only other filesystem I use is exfat for flash.
EXT4 and ZFS, generally.
LTFS
>>52046587
ReFS
I roll 4x4 TB in Raid-Z2 to which I backup my important stuff. I couldn't care less about what filesystem my other systems use.
>>52047111
I use it for /var. It's becoming a little bit outdated now, and Reiserfs4 doesn't really seem to be going anywhere.
>>52048785
>I'm a macfag
>have to put up with
WTF? Seriously? If Macs are such shit, and you know it, why not use something else?
NTFS on Windows (For obvious reasons)
EXT4 for Loonix (For obvious reasons)
EXT4 on flash drives (Don't use local physical storage on Windows outside of hard drives)
So mainly EXT4.
Not developing your own filesystem? weak
>>52046587
ext4 on boot otherwise f2fs
RedSea
ReFS
ZFS
exFAT
Laptop: ext4 (debian)
Desktop: NTFS (Win10)
USB drives: exFAT
Windows: NTFS for the OS and ReFS for secondary partitions
Linux: xfs for root and zfs for home
>>52048735
windows users dont need to know where files are. you know where your files are because you have to fuck with them to make shit work. the files windows users need to know the location of are as follows:
videos are in the video folder
pictures are in the pictures folder
music is in the music folder
games are in the games folder
>>52048763
lol
I'd use ext4 on every drive and device I own if I could. Unfortunately we're forced to use proprietary formats like NTFS or exFAT. I've seen rumors on here about data loss from using ext4 on external/portable drives, but I've never seen it happen.
HFS is like NTFS in that they don't have the case sensitivity and the host OS tries to hide it, but I haven't worked with HFS enough to have run into some of the problems that Torvalds describes.

using ext3 since I was planning on setting up an NFS on my network to share with a windows computer and an xmbc potato box in another room.
Anyone know a better way? I've basically only used ext3 and ext4 before
File systems are very situational, there is no "best" file system. Considering what they're used for ZFS and NTFS are reasonably good.
Btrfs is coming along nicely though and it is so inter-disciplinary that it might actually become the "best" file system someday. F2FS is also interesting but not quite there yet.

That's hyperbole and you know it mr linux. It's the worst still commonly used filesystem (ntfs is pretty awful too but windows has done a lot of mitigation in userland to deal with it).

Sorry Linus, but I don't care for case sensitivity. No one in their right mind would have two folders named the same in dfferent cases anyways.

>>52047736
For the most part, changing filesystems won't make a noticible difference to most users. On the desktop anyway. In servers or production environments, they can make a huge difference.
My fileserver used to use XFS but it pooped out because I added a drive to the underlying lvm pool with a block size it didn't like, and lost ALL the data. Use ext4 for it now, idc about features or speed as long as the damn thing can be stable....
>>52054347
EXT4 is a bad idea on externals and flash drives because once you go that route it's not portable anymore. Windows can't handle EXT4, and in all likelihood OSX can't either. You can kinda-sorta get EXT4 to work on Windows, but I bet the unproven software to get it to mount contributes to that data loss problem.
On the same route, Linux can handle exfat but the moment you go back to Windows you'll find problems reading and writing to the partition. (Scandisk fixes this, but be prepared to lose files that are opened often) I'm not sure if exfat-fuse isn't handling it properly or if Microsoft can't into their own damn filesystem.
>>52046587
I just use EXT4.
I don't need any of the fancy features BTFS/ZFS/ReiserFS provide, they sound more like a hassle than something useful to me. Not to mention they're not as mature as EXT4.
I don't see the point of using EXT2/EXT3 either, and NTFS, FAT32 and HFS+ are objectively terrible
>>52055401
Lol no I don't follow shuttleworth blog, but then I have been seeing Mir in news from 2 years.
That's why the doubt!
UFO
>>52048401
locate
>>52048760
locate does what find does except a lot faster
the difference between them is that locate is cached, meaning you need to update the database when you add new files. Windows search results are cached as well I'm fairly sure.
Also even if you don't have google you'll still have manpages
EXT4 for linux (btrfs was not stable when i originally formatted my partition)
NTFS for windows (really the only choice here for ms)
FAT32 for easy file transfer between machines
>>52060242
>>52060221
That's what makes Everything special, is that it doesn't use a cache which gives it a very small storage footprint, whereas locate needs to have the database updated every time.
NTFS for desktop
ZFS for NAS
defaults work
>>52046650

>>52047640
What was your probelm with btrfs?
I currently am on it, and am overall quite pleased.
If you aren't using zfs by now you might as well kill yourself, to be perfectly honest my dear family.
>>52047111
Raw. Then when saving file write down the file start point on paper
ReiserFS
LUKS+LVM, mounted as EXT4.
> inb4 what about windows
If you're on windows no encryption can be trusted because fucking every anti-spying feature available for it is backdoored and/or terrible regardless.
If you're actually dumb enough to stay on Wangblows, use ntfs and strap a bag of glue to your face.
UFS
>>52053926
are you fucking stupid?
Linux files are also sorted accordingly.
>>52048401
This isn't an NTFS feature you fucking idiot.
You keep posting this but you still don't understand how computers work.
The Linux kernel can cache file systems too you know.
>>52060378
Everything does cache you idiot.
You literally can't have searching speeds that quick without caching anything. Deal with it.
>inb4 hur dur when i create new file it shows up on Everything straight away
It's possible to monitor the file system and dynamically add to the database.

Retard, Everything doesn't cache shit, it just reads from the filesystem's master index. It still means less bloat because it makes use of OS technologies instead of spewing cache files all over the system like updatedb does
>>52063608
I'll post a reaction image because I have nothing to say.
>>52046587
None

>>52067407
Pro-tip: your OS is caching that 'master index' (read: root), and in addition, it is also using Window's indexing service under the hood.
And you're moving the goalposts too, before you claimed it was an NTFS feature, then after you got BTFO'd you're claiming that it's a Windows feature now.
Also, Windows indexing service also spews cache files all over the system too, while updatedb literally only has one config file and the database file.
How do you know Everything isn't explicitly caching anything? did you read the source code? is it even open source?
Please learn how computers and operating systems work before making stupid posts on the internet again please.

There's still a bit of interest in Reiser4. Edward Shishkin releases new versions of the patch for new kernel versions, and Ivan shapovalov just added TRIM/Discard support..
