we are thinking of redoing our existing servers and workstations in
june. our servers is low volume and run out of our home via cable.
right now the servers are running freebsd and our personal machines use
arch linux, but we'd like to unify everything onto debian because
a) we've liked it in the past
b) we like the social contract
c) we appreciate the no-nonsense attitude about 'free'
we are contemplating the fs to use:
ext4 (which we've used for a couple of years)
zfs (we've heard this is really good)
btrfs (ditto - though it's still 'new' and 'lacking' features)
are there any feelings or recommendations regarding the above?
Btrfs is as yet an experimental filesystem and not recommended for any
serious use whatsoever even by its creator/developer, Ted Ts'o.
Zfs is, AFAIK, a filesystem in userspace (in GNU/Linux). Which
probably means it's slow (among other things). Hardly for production use.
Of the three, ext4 is your only realistic option. Which I suppose you
already knew? You just wanted confirmation, right?
