February 6Feb 6 According to the docs: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/using-unraid-to/manage-storage/file-systems/XFS is "robust against corruption".What I've read is the unraid parity of XFS drives doesn't have a "self-healing"-like feature that a ZFS pool would have or bitrot protection.More realistically though, unclean shutdowns would be the most common issues I'd encounter. How would an XFS parity array fair against a ZFS mirrored pool?Actually, faulty cables and storage controllers would be another point of issue as well. Edited February 6Feb 6 by veganbtw
February 6Feb 6 Community Expert Solution Both are typically robust with unclean shutdowns, so I wouldn't choose based on that. If you don't need checksums and/or snapshots, XFS is the recommended array filesystem for the typical user.
