From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What file systems are you using on your devices and why?

I want to learn more about file systems from the practical point of view so I know what to expect, how to approach them and what experience positive or negative you had / have.

I found this wikipedia's comparison but I want your hands-on views.

For now my mental list is
- NTFS - for some reason TVs on USB love these and also Windows + Linux can read and write this
- Ext4 - solid fs with journaling but Linux specific
- Btrfs - some modern fs with snapshot capability, Linux specific
- xfs - servers really like these as they are performant, Linux specific
- FAT32 - limited but recognizable everywhere
- exFAT - like FAT32 but less recognizable and less limited

ext4,IO have tried Btrfs and xfs and both of them exploded in ways that weren't recovered, but ext4 has been reliable.

J'utilise principalement Ext4 pour mes systèmes Linux en raison de sa fiabilité et de ses fonctionnalités de journalisation. Pour les clés USB et les disques externes, je préfère exFAT car il est compatible avec Windows et macOS, ce qui le rend pratique pour le partage de fichiers. J'ai également expérimenté Btrfs pour ses snapshots, mais je trouve qu'il peut être un peu complexe à gérer. En ce qui concerne NTFS, c'est effectivement un bon choix pour la compatibilité avec les téléviseurs, mais j'ai rencontré des problèmes de performance sur Linux color block jam level. En résumé, chaque système de fichiers a ses avantages et inconvénients selon l'utilisation prévue !

While generally reliable, NTFS can become fragmented over time, which may affect performance. Additionally, some advanced features (like permissions) may not translate well when accessing the file system from Linux.
