From my unfortunate experience, indian accent is a good predictor of low quality content on YT, so I can't even express how happy I was to watch this amazing, extremely informative, concise yet comprehensive summary-thank you so much 🙇🏻‍♂️ !

Very good in depth video. Thank you! But there is one thing to correct. btrfs is only better on paper, in reality its raid support is still experimental and it has problems using disk space even when it is telling the user, that enough disk space is left. It's not uncommon that it tells you after a copy operation, that it doesn't have enough disk space, even when it is claiming the opposite at first place. The best FS at the moment of these 4 is ZFS. But because of its license, it can't be incorporated into the Linux kernel. Thus it's only working in user space in Linux. As a consequence you usually can only choose between ext4 and XFS on Linux, while btrfs is too unreliable. Because of that, Red Hat discarded btrfs on their distribution and switched to XFS.

Startet with XFS over 10 years ago; used EXT4 a while later; nearly started using btrfs in the beginning of 2017 but using ZFS since than and I'm very happy with it! Looking forward to bcachefs in the next few years. Nice video!

Great video! I really like how you explained what a file system is and the major features and limitations. I just need to add XFS also supports Copy-on-Write. I think this is important consideration when picking a file system. Also currently BtrFS has some drawbacks compared to ZFS, namely BtrFS doesn't fully support Encryption, RAID 5/6, adaptive endanness or caching mechanisms like L2ARC or SLOG. Which are not really big problems though. I like to think of it like this, if it's for home use pick BtfFS, if it's for work or sensitive data pick ZFS.

Thank you so much for this video! This is the first time I have seen anyone answer my curiosity about what the difference in each filesystem was and why one would be more desirable than another. Please keep doing the esoteric topics that many would be interested in but don't know where to get the info. I am trying to kick my Microsoft habit completely. Unfortunately, I have been a junkie since Dos 2.

Great Video, though the many important features of ZFS are not covered [ e.g. transparent compression ]. Secondly, ZFS for Linux is an open source project. Thirdly, BTRFS is not a matured file system by any standard. BTRFS Raid functionality is incomplete [ Especially Raid 5 and Raid 6 ] . You have not also not covered XFS file system comparison with EXT4. Based on the available file system, its features, performance, scalability, there is no doubt that ZFS stands on # 1 spot.

@twinshadow1357 3 жыл бұрын

I think it's worth noting that XFS has the fastest start-up time and it ages much better then BTRFS. All of the advanced features others offer aren't really worth the hassle for home users...

@silvioglucklich1155 3 жыл бұрын

Thx, what are the hassle a home / home server user will see with BTRFS?

@twinshadow1357 3 жыл бұрын

@@silvioglucklich1155 I meant hassle as in: setting it up properly and learning to use btrfsprogs just to get a inferior file system. The biggest pain for me was application start up time i.e. XFS takes 0.7sec to start office, while BTRFS needs 3sec. That's perceivable and it shouldn't be when you have an SSD. It gets worse as the system ages. BetrFS (not to be confused with BTRFS) tries to fix some of it shortcomings, but I would still go with XFS. Here you can find all of the fs used in the video plus F2FS: research.vmware.com/files/attachments/0/0/0/0/0/3/5/fast17-conway.pdf

@12:25 attention: "automatically repairs corruption" is only true if you run raid-z (i.e. if there is an uncorrupted copy of the data available within the filesystem). If you run your ZFS pool on a single device then it can only _detect_ corruption, but is not able to repair it. So don't forget your regular backups (and preferably only run them after a successful scrub). Also: you forgot to mention that ZFS natively supports compression (which you _do_ mention for Btrfs) and encryption. @14:20 attention: btrfs RAID 5/6 is still "" by the developers!

Thx doe the infos ! Do you think any of those FS would be a better choice for 4 TB HDDs, sharing data on several OSs, mixing Win & Linux ? Or is it still best to stick to NTFS for compatibility, instead of using FS compatibility/support add-ons on Win (10)?

What kind of keep me from using anything else then ext4 is that all other have less support. btrfs seems to be equally supported but zfs is not even supported in the Kernel by Standard. I think you have to load it into the Kernel with some non GPL licence. Not really what i want to do

@richardbennett4365 Жыл бұрын

ZFS and btrfs have been and are still called copy on write systems, but they actually are more accurately redirect on write systems. It's similar to the confusion over gibibytes and gigabytes. They are not the same thing, but people use copy on write for both anyway. Bad practice.
