Oh yeah, i like reliable filesystems like xfs or zfs ;)

Btrfs let me down one time and for a file system one time is too many.

I've been let down by ZFS once before when I wanted to add more drives to an existing pool.

Did you lose data?

No, and I haven't lost data with BTRFS in RAID6 either.

>I haven't lost data

User error...both with btrfs and zfs ;)

extraneous files seroed

Though I've used XFS a lot over the years. Mostly because the Debian installer gave 12yo me the choice between ext2, ext3 and xfs, so XFS it was because it sounded cooler.

That's what redhat though ;)

I've had pacman and ext4 zero a whole bunch of system files on a forced shutdown during updates.

Reminded me of XFS back when.

Come to think of it vast majority of fs voes was ext3/4 family, I've seen zeroed file, I've also seen file replaced by content of another file on unclean shutdowns
