18 I find filesystems are very much a case of YMMV :)
19
20 I will NOT use an ext fs again willingly - lost too many whole systems,
21 corruption - Ive had less problems with DOS!
22
23 Reiserfs, has had its "moments" but is by far the most stable system,
24 though NTFS isnt bad these days either.
25
26 btrfs - I am using this for backups systems and under a cephfs rbd store
27 for VM's. Not bad ... but definitely not stable though its months since
28 I have lost a whole system ... I am also using it as the primary file
29 system on an apple macbook air (ssd) and for the OS on an ssd for a vm
30 server host and its been problem free on both.
