I've decided I'm done with #Btrfs for non-default root installs. #Bcachefs & #mdraid users: tell me about your experience ( #ZFS users: dw, I already use that on #TrueNAS & #openSUSE #Tumbleweed) #homelab

@khleedril

Filesystem + #LVM + #LUKS is such a crazy complexity. From the perspective of someone who needed to backup and restore such a partition.

#BTRFS + LUKS is way easier and very stable. Linux broke everywhere for me in the past, but never BTRFS (when using the longterm kernel, there were some broken drivers in the "stable" kernel a short while ago)

Filesystem-based encryption (RIP #bcachefs) would reduce this even more. But luckily my NixOS with bcachefs install didnt boot back then, otherwise I would have needed to reinstall.

Linus hat das - aus dem kommenden 6.18 entfernt. Vorangegangen war ein Streit mit dem Entwickler über Entwicklungsmethoden und unzureichende Tests. winfuture.de/news,154035.html?
