ext4 remains the default for a lot of distros and probably most end users, but other options are common as well. openSUSE and Fedora now default to btrfs, RHEL defaults to XFS.
- loeg 3y agoXFS also has not changed much in the past 10-20 years :-).
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS lists what I would call significant improvements, in particular, > Linux kernel 4.8 in August 2016 added a new feature, "reverse mapping". This is the foundation for a large set of planned features: snapshots, copy-on-write (COW) data, data deduplication, reflink copies, online data and metadata scrubbing, highly accurate reporting of data loss or bad sectors, and significantly improved reconstruction of damaged or corrupted filesystems. This work required changes to XFS's on-disk format.
