The Btrfs filesystem is a modern Copy-on-Write (CoW) filesystem designed for high-capacity and high-performance storage servers. XFS is also a high-performance 64-bit journaling filesystem that is also capable of parallel I/O operations.

Is Btrfs more reliable than Ext4?
For pure data storage, however, the btrfs is the winner over the ext4, but time still will tell. Till the moment, the ext4 seems to be a better choice on the desktop system since it is presented as a default file system, as well as it is faster than the btrfs when transferring files.
Which is better btrfs or ZFS?
btrfs is algorithmically better, btrfs has features that ZFS does not have, btrfs is going to win over ZFS at some unspecified point in the future. ... Even in single-disk laptop or desktop configurations, ZFS has a number of advantages over btrfs that will make your life much easier.
What is the difference between btrfs and Ext4?
A single Btrfs filesystem can span over multiple disks and partitions. The Ext4 filesystem does not support multiple devices. You can't span a single Ext4 filesystem over multiple disks or partitions.
What is the best file system for NAS?
While XFS has proven to be a pretty good, fast filesystem (so far no problems) and development effort is going, still would recommend the slower ext4 (if a proper undelete utility is availabe) otherwise ext3 (unless you want your NAS to be a webserver (not recommended!
Should I use Btrfs or XFS?
Advantages of Btrfs over XFS
The Btrfs filesystem is a modern Copy-on-Write (CoW) filesystem designed for high-capacity and high-performance storage servers. XFS is also a high-performance 64-bit journaling filesystem that is also capable of parallel I/O operations.
Should I choose Btrfs or Ext4?
Btrfs or EXT4. ... But generally, EXT4 is performing faster if speed is what you need. Otherwise, BTRFS offer so much more functionality and protection mechanisms. In order to change file system, you will need to set up the NAS from scrash and then select the file system and copy the data.
Is ZFS faster than XFS?
Resource utilization and performance
If you are using ZFS with all the default values set, then it will use more resources than XFS and perform slightly worse in terms of I/O but, with modern hardware and faster CPUs, this difference is negligible.
Is ZFS the best file system?
ZFS is the best file system for data you care about, hands down. For ZFS snapshots, you should check out the auto snapshot script. By default you can take a snapshot every 15 minutes and up to monthly snapshots.
Is Btrfs dead?
In terms of developer involvement Btrfs is not dead, far from it. It gets new patches, which are not maintenance only, in every new kernel release.
Who is using Btrfs?
The following companies use Btrfs in production:
- Facebook (testing in production as of 2014/04, deployed on millions of servers as of 2018/10)
- Jolla (smartphone)
- Lavu (iPad point of sale solution. ...
- Rockstor (BTRFS powered FOSS NAS solution)
- Tripadvisor (mid term log storage)
Is XFS faster than Ext4?
For anything with higher capability, XFS tends to be faster. XFS also consumes about twice the CPU-per-metadata operation compared to Ext3 and Ext4, so if you have a CPU-bound workload with little concurrency, then the Ext3 or Ext4 variants will be faster.
Do you need LVM with Btrfs?
btrfs is like LVM, only better (in simple cases, like RAID0,1 and single device volumes). ... I use btrfs on LVM without issue in many of my systems, especially in devices that need swap space (Since btrfs doesn't support swap files) you can create a swap partition using LVM.
