Admins were not happy. Initial attempts to resolve the issue by replacing files with hardlinks also failed due to ext4’s 65,000 hardlink limit.

Aunque la característica Copy-on-Write de #Btrfs hace que lo tenga difícil para competir con #EXT4 y #Xfs en rendimiento, no es menos cierto que es una faceta en la que debe mejorar si no quiere seguir descolgándose.

Ahora uso Btrfs por obligación, pero si no mejora de aquí a un tiempo, habrá distribuciones que se plantearán volver a EXT4 por cuestiones de rendimiento. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Btrfs-Linux-7.1

Btrfs Brings Performance Improvements, Shutdown ioctl Stable With Linux 7.1

Among the early pull requests sent out to Linus Torvalds even before the Linux 7.0 kernel officially released on Sunday were the Btrfs file-system updates

I've just moved a number of large files that I do not use often from an active partition to a backup partition.

What is odd is that the access speed to the active partition has increased significantly. Since that should not be possible, that must have to do with the manner in which the active partition is accessed by the Android operating system. Some research required.

@nwcs luckily the quite robust #ext4. I had a few additions to /lost+found due to the lost power issues with a failing hibernation though.

Edit: Plus a #ZFS partition for #OpenWrt / #Gluon + #Linux kernel dev stuff, mainly for the deduplication + compression features to keep having multiple git worktrees around feasible with these.

Почему rollback на ext4 — боль, и как я решил это через rsync

Я не собирался делать этот проект. Просто однажды сломал систему — и понял, что rollback на ext4 не такая простая вещь, как кажется. В итоге собрал своё решение на rsync: быстрый и предсказуемый откат без смены файловой системы. Кода тут минимум — он на GitHub. В статье — про сам подход: проблему, попытки решения и итог.

Linux Kernel 7.0 RC6 Arrives with Major Ext4, XFS, and Audio Driver Fixes - OSTechNix

Linus Torvalds officially released the sixth release candidate (RC6) for the upcoming Linux Kernel 7.0. Here's what's new in Linux 7.0-rc6.

Kann ich bei einer fabrikneuen externen Festplatte, die eine Partition sda1 als Microsoft reserved Partition hat und eine sda2 als ntfs formatiert ist, die sda1 löschen und stattdessen die gesamte Platte mit einer Partition sda1 mit ext4 formatieren? Oder sollte ich die sda1 unangetastet lassen? Sie ist ohnehin nur 128MB groß?
Die USB-Festplatte soll als Datenpartition verwendet werden und auf Linuxsystemen genutzt werden.

#Partition #festplatte #ext4

Verdammt, Ich habe gerade realisiert, dass ich gestern als ich das #Linux installiert habe, die Partitionen als #EXT4 formatiert habe. Ich wollte doch ursprünglich #BTRFS nehmen.
Na gut, kein Beinbruch. Kann ich jetzt auch nicht mehr ändern.
