Should one use btrfs today? Nobara seems to have it as default in their installer. I don't know anything about it, am not a very technical user, want things to work with no hassle.

Today my work machine graduated from Windows 11 to Ubuntu 24.04. The hardware hasn’t changed. I would have preferred Kubuntu. They gave me ext4 instead of btrfs. But my wishes there are nice-to-haves. What they gave me is a huge step!

Now I'm thinking about a new strategy:

- stop service
- make #btrfs snapshot (seconds at max)
- restart service
- run #borgBackup from snapshot, but via #bubbleWrap so it sees it as the original path and inodes for consistency&performance!
- run as many borg backups as desired to any remote […]

Btrfs raid with Disko I wrote a helper function mkBtrfsRAID to make defining btrfs raid collections more ergonomic in disko. It has the “other” disks formatted with an empty partition table, so disko knows about them and asks for wipe confirmation on formatting. Doesn’t solve the abovementioned problem when the first disk that’s actually tried to be mounted fails or is missing though. let # make a disko.devices.disk attrset that empty-format the given disks before anything else mkEmptyDisks = { before ? "", devi...

TIL that btrfs will happily run into a "no space left on device" wall with no possibility to write metadata anymore (which is needed for balancing and thus getting out of this situation) 🤦

Does anyone have any thoughts on #ZFS vs #Btrfs on Linux?

I've been putting off rebuilding my laptop for about 6 months because I can't make a decision.

I'm a big fan of the idea of ZFS and its tooling, but I know it'll be slower. Btrfs might do the job just well enough.

I'm shocked: it seems that Btrfs NoCOW can provide weak data integrity and lead to corruption, especially when combined with fallocate. Even if NoCOW sounds like a good idea for certain files, it can be a recipe for unexpected data corruption. #linux #sysadmin #btrfs #corruption #fallocate #nocow

One nice hidden idea I've got from reading that @torvalds still use @fedora, he is aligned with btrfs as a first-class filesystem on modern Linux.

The main difference between #btrfs and other CoW filesystems is a btrfs filesystem on a physical array is absolutely guaranteed to eat itself at some point. No other filesystem can claim that
