As I understand it, there are a few new file systems somewhat available on Linux -- ZFS, XFS, and Btrfs.
But soe are still under development, ZFS is pparently under a prolematic license, and I don't know about XFS. I've onece heard about one of the new systems that one shouldn't bother using it unless one has at least 8 gigabytes of RAM. Now, just how mature are these, how easily managed, how reliable. I'll be populating a new device with a (I hope) high-reliablity file system soon. It doesn't have a lot of RAM, but the RAM does have parity checking. Long-term data preservation is more important than speed. Currently on another system I'm using ext4 over LLVM over software RAID-1. I know RAID isn't a reliable backup system; I make separate off-line backups. What should I be considering for the new system? The same? Are the new systems stale and well enough established in the Linux ecosystem to be candidates? -- hendrik On Fri, Dec 22, 2017 at 04:13:34PM +0100, Jaromil wrote: > On Fri, 22 Dec 2017, Chris Dos wrote: > > > Know nothing about zfs?
