Re: [PLUG] Backup solution

I'm another happy xfs user, and have been one for years. Before I switched to xfs, I was a happy user of reiserfs, which was an excellent filesystem when I used it. These days, I tend to put root partitions on ext4 just because every kernel recognizes one and can do an fsck if needed from anything I do a USB boot from. “fsck” on xfs requires mounting and dismounting the file system, which sometimes can be awkward. Data I care about, like encrypted /home partitions, are always xfs

Just an FYI... XFS as been mainline since 2001 (this is my 20th year using it). So its far from beta. The weird thing is that Ubuntu and others didn't make it the default fs until around 2018. Previously, you would just have to choose it manually. Not sure why it took so long but I'm glad most distros have made the change.
