Why xfs let's say over ext4? Just asking out of curosity.

Yeah it sounds "better" FS. Do you use snapshots?

Interesting choice for NAS, why not the others that seem like better alternatives?

So you went for exFAT when you want to throw some data onto external drive? I think you could also got away with NTFS in your case.

Nice! What hardware are you using with ZFS on TrueNAS SCALE?

Yeah simplicity beats everything when you only use basic features.

Great answer thanks for this!

I agree with everythinf but exFAT, some devices expect either FAT32 or NTFS. I had this issue when I wanted to play totally acquired big mkv movie through USB and because of that FAT32 wasn't an option so I went with exFAT. Not visible but apperantly it liked NTFS. It was the LG TV, my parents have 2 and same issue on both.

Me too, but why in your case?

I think Linux users must have some touch of masochism. Also this might interest you: https://www.phoronix.com/review/linux-611-filesystems But me too, I've just installed Cosmic DE PopOS 24.04 for my main laptop.

Then you can increase the 4. ;)

Do you use it for USBs NVMe and SSDs or SSDs exclusive on the main system?

Hmm isn't that inefficient?

When I tried stripped out gaming version of the Windows (AtlasOS) I was sad and amazed at the same time. Amazed how everything snappy is and sad that's Microsoft's Windows engineers work is enshittified with bloat. As Linux user I love Windows (closed but necesarry evil), but nothing more than that so many many bloat, forced pushed closed software that could be backdoors suuuuuucks.

True. But Windows LTSC version seem bizzare to me. I heard in many companies it's less expensive to prolong Windows 10 support and then ditch it completely then to move to Windows 11. 😆

Yeah that's weird when I read about exFAT it seemed like same compability but no FAT32's limitations but in practice that wasn't the case.

Are you sure this is the only good FS? I know it's solid and stable and used for many years as default Linux's FS but I disagree that's the only good one.

Sure.

Bazzite defaults to btrfs and yeah this distro with rolling back changes is on another level.

Well you probably used it if you had any brand new USB as it's the default. I'm trying to flash my USBs for now with exFAT or NTFS...

NTFS is like Windows - the necessity when nothing else will work.

Wait what. exFAT can make you not to worry about eject/umount?

I use it in my work but ZFS seems interesting alternative.

Great! Have you had any issues with this setup?

When you know LVM I think you can manage manual paritioning. :) Especially as btrfs is advertised with snapshots so trial and error is encouraged.

Which RAID? I need to read about SystemD encrypt hooks because I know nothing. Also why not LVM? Is btrfs more flexible in partitioning when you want to extend it or shrink it? I heard that you can merge "partitions" on 2 different disks so they are visisble under one mount point.
