A year ago I set up Ubuntu server with 3 ZFS pools on my server, normally I don’t make copies of very large files but today I was making a copy of a ~30GB directory and I saw in rsync that the transfer doesn’t exceed 3mb/s (cp is also very slow).
What is the best file system that “just works”? I’m thinking of migrating everything to ext4
EDIT: I really like the automatic pool recovery feature in ZFS, has saved me from 1 hard drive failure so far
XFS has “just worked” for me for a very long time now on a variety of servers and desktop systems.
Careful as it is obscure enough that you could blow off your leg.
I don’t see how the default filesystem of the enterprise Linux distro could be considered obscure.
I don’t believe that XFS is the default for anything these days. I could be wrong though.
Default since RHEL 8. Consider looking up such facts before posting wrong facts.
Oh i didn’t know that. RHEL 9 also uses it as defalut. Propably some forks of it aswell. Rocky, Alma?
Oh i mixed it up with ZFS. I think ZFS uses no one by default.
