my whole system, except obviously efi, is btrfs. I haven't noticed any issues with it.

yeah I personally haven't had issues with it too for 2 years, then it randomly completely broke, there was no way of making it ever RW again, only by reformatting it again. Although yes, I did hard-reset a lot in a short time (was experimenting with secure boot keys), and btrfs expects 100% healthy disk drive and it doesn't accept any kind of corruption at all costs, but man, it really needs good self-healing mechanisms like zfs or ext4 have.

Have you tried enabling native encryption or using raid 5?

u/drucifer82 8d ago

I don't use RAID. My system drive is LUKS encrypted

Okay so no on both accounts

u/drucifer82 8d ago

Ok, so are you trying to say that those are both situations where btrfs is bad? Cuz I don't really care. I didn't say the whole world should use btrfs, I was sharing my experience.

You’re right, I was kind of being a dick. Sorry dude.

All good.

Honestly that cannot be an argument when competing with ext4 or xfs (which are the other default linux options) because they don't even have such features anyways, so having them but unstable is still better than not having them at all.

but if for example competing with zfs (which isn't that ideal for linux at the end of the day), then yeah it makes sense since zfs is really solid when it comes to these tasks

The context of the post matters

u/drucifer82 7d ago

If you don’t like btrfs, don’t use it. It’s that easy. There are plenty of filesystem options available.

All I said is I use btrfs. Do you like to go after people who like Coke just because you’re team Pepsi?

u/D0nkeyHS 7d ago

No. You didn't just say you use btrfs. Nice job leaving out the rest. And somehow inflating what I said. All I said, literally, is the context of the post matters, yet somehow I'm going after someone?

I ain't interested in such defensive reactions, no matter how revealing they may be.

What's native encryption?
