Is btrfs "stable" enough (everyone keeps using the word "experimental") to use on all array member disks? Does it have any protection against bit-rot? New server, wondering what filesystem to choose. Are the benefits vs xfs worth considering?
Thanks.
BTRFS is stable enough, but it is much more susceptible to corruption if you have dirty shutdowns.
I would recommend XFS unless there is some specific feature of BTRFS you need. And if so, make sure you have a UPS that is appropriately configured.
But do some story and make sure you understand what BTRFS is and does. Must people here, i'd say 95%+ are on XFS.
I would not loose any sleep worrying about bitrot. I'd be much more concerned about disturbed cables a
