Comment on [PSA] Swapping your Deck's filesystem to Btrfs is easy to do, and can give you more space for free

I’ve tried btrfs twice, and both times I regretted it. I also regret XFS, and reiserfs, but I had to do that because ext2 could just not deal with the very large, deep and multitudinous number of files I had to manage. Oh and jfs, also regret.

Really? I have run BTRFS for that last 3 years on my desktop and my laptop and it has saved me quite a few times now and I have yet to have any issues tied back to my filesystem.

  Maybe I used it too early, dunno.

    I couldn’t say how, when I got to that point, my goal was recovery, and stabilizing, and moving on. Trying to figure out how it failed was beyond my capabilities and scope

You should try ZFS (not on the SD, though). It’s pretty solid and used in NAS very often.

I’ve had great luck with xfs and zfs, but btrfs has lost data for me more than once.
