I want to know what filesystems are most aligned with the idea of long-term storage and prepping for digital archaeology :)
Whether I “plan” to put data on some piece of media to be be touched for a decade or century or it just “happens”...i think it's something we need to be thinking about in the realm of digital preservation
In an ideal world... Sure: you can check your files on a highly-routine basis to ensure no bitrot has happened
In the real world... Stuff gets dropped on some random media and forgotten about
That's a problem - there is an enormous amount of data that's on perfectly good media, but that cannot be recovered because of filesystem incompatibility
