As a full time desktop Linux user since 1999 (the actual year of the Linux desktop, I swear) I wish all you Windows folks the best of luck on the next clean install 👍

…and Happy 30th Birthday “New Technology” File System!

      What the hell ever happened with ReiserFS (or whatever it was called?) It was supposed to be used in Vista, and then just never was.

        It’s primary write and maintainer killed his wife and went to prison. The fs stagnated after that.

        XFS is more like ext3 or ext4 than zfs. It has now COW, snapshots, although it is very performant and can handle very large volumes. It’s a pretty good all around filesystem. I trust it more than ext4, but you also can’t shrink it, like you can ext4.
