November 10, 20214 yr Hi, Just curious if some of you are using BTRFS as their file system for their HDD array? Any major problem if chosing BTRFS over XFS? Thanks Edited November 10, 20214 yr by tessierp
June 23, 20224 yr Quote Compared to Btrfs, XFS is better at recovering file system corruption, which can happen after unclean shutdowns or system crashed. While you might be careful to always correctly and cleanly shut down your Unraid system, blackouts and defective components are always a risk to anyone source: https://unraid-guides.com/2020/12/09/what-is-the-best-filesystem-for-unraid/ I'm not an enterprise/business customer, and I'm not doing a lot of writes to the parity. I also use a UPS, so my system should shutdown cleanly. Therefore I don't think I'll have any of the risks that were mentioned. I do like that Btrfs can check data integrity, but so does the Dynamix File Integrity plugin. Though Btrfs is built-in and fool proof. Edited June 23, 20224 yr by Jaybau
