Hi fediverse, I'm asking you to do my homework 👀
Jokes aside, I am supposed to analyze the performance of filesystems for an assignment, and since I'm a #Linux enthousiast, I've decided to checkout out #ext4 and #btrfs since they are both quite popular.I am posting my results here because I simply don't understand what explains the significant 15-20Mib throughput writing-speed gap between the two file systems. Initially I thought of compression, but it's disabled. Any clues ?

I've been transitioning my home computers from #Manjaro to #Solus #Linux because I noticed that Solus puts out weekly updates and Manjaro moves far more slowly.
I thought I'd give #BTRFS a try instead of #ext4 since on Manjaro, BTRFS has become the default and it worked well.
For some reason, it really didn't play well with Solus. I couldn't log into #Element at all and I had problems running #Cyberpunk2077 with #Heroic.
I reinstalled with ext4 and those problems went away.
I did, for some reason, have trouble installing Heroic from the repo and had to use #Flatpak instead, but I'm getting more comfortable with those. I let the computer redownload CPB2077 overnight and tried to run it this morning. It even remembered my progress, which was a fear.

BTRFS? LMAO. I use ext4. I don't like dealing with any other fs. Stability is what I want when it comes to the data I put into storage. It's the bedrock to everything I do in my systems so I want a rock stable bedrock. Fuck all the fancy shit. Ext4 on linux all the way
Snapper? Tf is dat? I just make a compressed dd image of my root drive. I don't wanna waste time twiddling with rsync or something UNLESS NECESSARY. I don't backup my system that frequent though.

A friend got a protable projector (Elfin Flip) and realized it's running Linux.
So I downloaded the firmware (from 2022) and binwalked it:
```
...
633998388 0x25CA0C34 Linux EXT filesystem, blocks count: 477201, image size: 488653824, rev 1.0, ext2 filesystem data (mounted or unclean), UUID=4729639d-b5f2-5cc1-a120-9ac5f788f788, volume name "/"
...
```mounted or unclean!
I'm sorry sir, but could you fsck your release before shipping?

New post on The Byte Architect:
**Filesystem Wars: Why Your Choice of Storage is Actually a Security Move**
This is not a “which filesystem should I use?” checklist. It is a walk through the ideas behind FFS, BFS, NTFS, ext4, ZFS, and APFS — and why storage design is never just about storage.
Crash consistency, journaling, soft updates, CoW, snapshots, encryption, space sharing: different filesystems solve different problems, and those choices shape reliability, usability, and security.
The real target, of course, is APFS.

I've just moved a number of large files that I do not use often from an active partition to a backup partition.
What is odd is that the access speed to the active partition has increased significantly. Since that should not be possible, that must have to do with the manner in which the active partition is accessed by the Android operating system. Some research required.

CW: Storytime about trying to mount an ext4 drive on macOS.
So, I got the magnificent idea of formatting an external HDD to ext4.
Everything was fine, until I had to mount it on macOS (I still use that OS for some tasks). Okay… Not a problem, I think, I just have to install macFUSE and ext4fuse.
Yes, done. Now… let's plug in the drive and mount it, and… Oh! Surprise! "You don't have permissions to access this drive." What? I try and retry and nothing happens… So I get another ext4 drive (this one had a Linux system on it, not just files) and it worked!
Well, I cannot figure out how to make it work with my files drive then. But I do not give up.
"Time to VM!" I think. I install VirtualBox, make a VM with a lightweight Debian-based distro and when I'm about to activate USB passthrough… I just can't. I search for a solution and it turns out that it's something to do with permissions, again. And a lot of people have this issue in forums. I'm fed up. I uninstall VirtualBox and go to sleep.
…
A new day, a new way to suffer.
"I won't be beaten by a file system" I say to myself, determined to make it work this time. Since VMing still has the best chances to work, I give it another try, this time with UTM, a VM host and system emulator for macOS based on QEMU.
Surprisingly, UTM is simple and easy to work with, very user-friendly. So I have my VM running in no time, and (as if it wasn't enough complication) I decide to try out an Arch-based distro, EndeavourOS.
USB passthrough on UTM works flawlessly, and it's easy to use. Problem solved? Hell no, now I have to be able to share a folder between host and VM.
Thankfully, UTM's documentation is clear and, after a few package installs and a reboot, I manage to get it set up. And yes, folks, problem solved, this time for good.
May my problem have been solved another simpler way? Yes, quite likely. But as someone who hadn't used VMs on macOS, and had little to no experience with Arch-based systems (only Manjaro but didn't actually use it as my main OS), I learnt a lot.
P.S.: I'm aware of anylinuxfs, but I have an Intel Mac, so, that's not an option.

For some reason and it wasn't installed on my Debian based MX Linux distro.
I've just installed sysstat, the package it comes in, and I have to Thank you for pointing me to the program

I remember that command from Linux and I've just checked online since I'm on the phone and found this hit
I didn't see that specific switch though

Up to know I have not seen any USB thumb drive which can write as fast as it reads in practicality
The 64 to 256 GB thumb drives that I work with, write at about 6 to 8 Mbps when they are in sync mode
In the beginning the drive seems to lie and shows speeds that are close to the absolute speed of the USB 3 Connection. In reality is not really a lie because the Linux Operating System loves to cache it's file systems, especially if they're native, like ext4
However the file system warns you never to remove the thumb drive until it's actually done writing. If you use something like Midnight Commander it will show you that the writing speed drops all the way down to six to eight megabytes a second!
That happens on both modern systems and on Old obsolete systems with just USB 2

Uso #archlinux su disco #nvne da 1T #sabrent (home non separata).

Un SSD #samsung da 256G dedicato a backup del blog, ISO varie ed eventuali: roba che se perdo poco importa.
+
Per #backup ho 1 #maxtor #usb3 che collego al bisogno.Il setup è ok, ma penso di mettere un disco meccanico da 4T in locale dedicato al backup incrementale ( #kup o #timeshift ) e poi questo lo copierò sul Maxtor esterno.
Pareri? Consigli sul disco da acquistare? Grazie 😊

Почему rollback на ext4 — боль, и как я решил это через rsync
Я не собирался делать этот проект. Просто однажды сломал систему — и понял, что rollback на ext4 не такая простая вещь, как кажется. В итоге собрал своё решение на rsync: быстрый и предсказуемый откат без смены файловой системы. Кода тут минимум — он на GitHub. В статье — про сам подход: проблему, попытки решения и итог. Вернуть систему

Kann ich bei einer fabrikneuen externen Festplatte, die eine Partition sda1 als Microsoft reserved Partition hat und eine sda2 als ntfs formatiert ist, die sda1 löschen und stattdessen die gesamte Platte mit einer Partition sda1 mit ext4 formatieren? Oder sollte ich die sda1 unangetastet lassen? Sie ist ohnehin nur 128MB groß?
Die USB-Festplatte soll als Datenpartition verwendet werden und auf Linuxsystemen genutzt werden.
