If you need a robust, straightforward and fast filesystem - use xfs. If you need more advanced features - use btrfs or zfs. bcachefs should be an option for that at some point and unlike others it also aims to compete with xfs in speed.

- shmerl 3y agoI'd say by 2038 you won't need to worry about older kernels that don't have this support, so it's a non issue.
