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.

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. -
