The problem is every filesystem can experience data corruption. That doesn't tell us anything about how it relates to BTRFS.
Also, filesystems just work. Nobody is gonna say "oh I'm using fileystem X and it works!" because that's the default. So, naturally, 99% of the stuff you'll hear about filesystems is when they don't work.
Don't believe me? Look up NTFS and read through reddit or stackexchange or whatever. Not a lot of happy campers.
- koverstreet 1y agoDo you see the same reports about ext4 or XFS? I don't.

It's also the reason I am completely against the Debian "backporting" methodology to pretend they aren't using the new version of something.

- kasabali 1y agoThat bug had nothing to do with Debian. Follow the reports in the fine thread you've linked and you'll see it was an upstream issue. Debian doesn't "backport" anything, they ship upstream LTS kernels straight, so please stop spreading this misinformation. For some bizarre reason I can't conceive people not only believe but also keep complaining that Debian ships franken-kernels like RHEL does. See [0] for another instance.

- eptcyka 1y agoI had a power failure and I lost the whole filesystem. Never happened with ext4 - I've had data loss after a power failure with other filesystems, but never an issue where I wasn't able to mount it and lost 100% of my data.
