Memory stick used many times is suddenly 'Read only file system' #ext4
BTRFS? LMAO. I use ext4. I don't like dealing with any other fs. Stability is what I want when it comes to the data I put into storage. It's the bedrock to everything I do in my systems so I want a rock stable bedrock. Fuck all the fancy shit. Ext4 on linux all the way
Snapper? Tf is dat? I just make a compressed dd image of my root drive. I don't wanna waste time twiddling with rsync or something UNLESS NECESSARY. I don't backup my system that frequent though.
A friend got a protable projector (Elfin Flip) and realized it's running Linux.
So I downloaded the firmware (from 2022) and binwalked it:
```
...
633998388 0x25CA0C34 Linux EXT filesystem, blocks count: 477201, image size: 488653824, rev 1.0, ext2 filesystem data (mounted or unclean), UUID=4729639d-b5f2-5cc1-a120-9ac5f788f788, volume name "/"
...
```
mounted or unclean!
I'm sorry sir, but could you fsck your release before shipping?
New post on The Byte Architect:
**Filesystem Wars: Why Your Choice of Storage is Actually a Security Move**
This is not a “which filesystem should I use?” checklist. It is a walk through the ideas behind FFS, BFS, NTFS, ext4, ZFS, and APFS — and why storage design is never just about storage.
Crash consistency, journaling, soft updates, CoW, snapshots, encryption, space sharing: different filesystems solve different problems, and those choices shape reliability, usability, and security.
The real target, of course, is APFS.

I completely missed this one ... thanks to LTT for putting it on my attention radar.
TIL: Ext4 only allows for 65536 hardlinks per file.
And funnily, for no certain reason, so does OpenZFS on linux.

Linux Kernel 7.0 ships with broad updates for Intel, AMD, and storage, including Xe GPU telemetry, Nova Lake audio, and early Zen 6 performance counters. 🐧
Storage gains include XFS self-healing, Btrfs I/O improvements, and EXT4 write optimizations, with Rust support and security tooling continuing to mature. ⚙️

Website backup crippled by 1.6MB Friends GIF that was replicated 246,173 times, breaking Linux's EXT4 filesystem limit — Jennifer Aniston's 'happy dance' animation ate up 377 gigabytes of data due to security policy
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
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.
