I installed Arch Linux onto a 128 GB USB stick. You may think "So, what?" but this has been incredibly useful.
I can use this system to do all sorts of data migration shenanigans and it will remember all my settings. Whenever I need access to the data on a different machine, I just plug it in.
Everyone should have one. 💾
also, decided against using #f2fs for anything for mmm let's say another 5 years, I'll check in on it in 2030
just asking if there is anything known to have borked my unstable branch install for my gaming rig before i try to pound my head against the wall trying to figure out why it refuses to boot. I had did some updates and then my steam games wouldnt play and then it wont even boot. I suspect hardware failure but my windows install shares one ssd with linux and windows is working but there is clearly an issue with one of my partitions at least... none of the three kernels installed will boot to ...
#Bcachefs #Btrfs #EXT4 #F2FS & #XFS #FileSystem Performance On Linux 6.15.
When taking the geometric mean of all the file-systems tested, XFS was by far the fastest with this testing on #Linux 6.15 and using a Crucial T705 #NVMe PCIe 5.0 SSD. With each file-system at its defaults, XFS was 20% faster than F2FS as the next fastest file-system. EXT4 and Btrfs meanwhile were tied for third. Bcachefs out-of-the-box on this PCIe 5 SSD was in a distant last place on Linux 6.15 Git.

With the copy-on-write Bcachefs file-system considering its on-disk format now 'soft frozen' and nearing the point of potentially removing the 'EXPERIMENTAL' flag on it, a number of Phoronix readers have been requesting some fresh benchmarks of this open-source file-system.
It sucks #F2FS trigger fsck during boot time if you upgrade your kernel version.
This has happened to me multiple times during the last 5 years.
I guess the solution is going back to ext4.
