which is "better", XFS or BTRFS? i only care about file system resilience on shitty SSDs, so like, which one is going to be slower at letting my photos be randomly destroyed by bit flips? #linux
@aeva in my long experience, btrfs is extremely prone to corrupting itself and shitting the bed in unstable conditions - this is emphatically not the case with XFS.
@MissAemilia @aeva my experience has been that both tend to fairly easily corrupt in unstable conditions. there's probably a better choice entirely than the two if reliability is the only desire.
@wizard @aeva
100%. The most resilient FS I've ever used, and I've *really* put it through its paces was bcachefs. Which I'm sadly moving off of because of Kents genuine devolution into LLM psychosis.
But its self healing properties were like no other FS I've ever seen, and its not even close. The on-disk resiliency is a fucking marvel. Recovery times arent necessarily quick but it *does* recover.
Pity it got fucking ruined.
