Btrfs has a bad reputation because to many people lost data, including me. I would never again use Btrfs, only ZFS.
- pnutjam 7y agoBtrfs is the default filesystem for OpenSuse. I use it all the time and it's very stable. https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Status https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Status Give it a try, it's part of the kernel and it works really well.
- nickik 7y agoThat's fine. However file system that I can even configure or use in a way that eats my data, I will simply not consider using. And I will not consider using OpenSuse because of that. When it was eating my data it was also supposed to be stable. But turns out it wasn't.

- nickik 7y agoYeah I tried restoring, non of the common tools or tricks I found online at that time helped me. If this particlar video would have made the difference then that's still a shitty situation. If you want to use btrfs go ahead, I will not do so again.
