I find filesystems are very much a case of YMMV :) I will NOT use an ext fs again willingly - lost too many whole systems, corruption - Ive had less problems with DOS! Reiserfs, has had its "moments" but is by far the most stable system, though NTFS isnt bad these days either. btrfs - I am using this for backups systems and under a cephfs rbd store for VM's. Not bad ... but definitely not stable though its months since I have lost a whole system ... I am also using it as the primary file system on an apple macbook air (ssd) and for the OS on an ssd for a vm server host and its been problem free on both. BillK
