The data=journal mode of ext4 is less stable than the default data=ordered mode. It is not widely used, and it has a higher risk of regressions because of that. > I tried to use ext4 on Debian Stable due to metadata checksums, but > then discovered that e2fsck doesn't support this feature.

The ext3 kernel driver was put out of its misery due to bitrot, and you will be using the ext4 driver to run any ext3 filesystem anyway... > > Then, your case is pretty clear: stay away from brtfs. > > How about using ZFS? It would be a choice were you using FreeBSD. ZFS on Linux is *not* anywhere close to the same level of stability as native ZFS on FreeBSD (or ext4/XFS on Linux, for that matter). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
