Tell me why I shouldn't use btrfs (lemmy.zip)

About a year ago I switched to ZFS for Proxmox so that I wouldn't be running technology preview.

Btrfs gave me no issues for years and I even replaced a dying disk with no issues. I use raid 1 for my Proxmox machines. Anyway I moved to ZFS and it has been a less that ideal experience. The separate kernel modules mean that I can't downgrade the kernel plus the performance on my hardware is abysmal. I get only like 50-100mb/s vs the several hundred I would get with btrfs.

Any reason I shouldn't go back to btrfs? There seems to be a community fear of btrfs eating data or having unexplainable errors. That is sad to hear as btrfs has had lots of time to mature in the last 8 years. I would never have considered it 5-6 years ago but now it seems like a solid choice.

Anyone else pondering or using btrfs? It seems like a solid choice.

A bit of topic; am I the only one that pronounces it "butterface"?

Isn't it meant to be like "better FS"? So you're not too far off.

[–] Asparagus0098@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago

i call it "butter FS"

[–] blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk 1 points 2 years ago

I was meant to be Better FS, but it corrupted it to btrfs without noticing.

[–] downhomechunk@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

I call it butter fuss. Yours is better.

Related, and I cannot help but read "bcachefs" as "bitch café"

[–] combatfrog@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Similarly, I read bcachefs as BCA Chefs 😅
