En vieläkään oikein tiedä, mitä #tiedostojärjestelmä'ä #Linux'issa pitäisi #irtokiintolevy'illä kuten muistitikuilla käyttää. Yleensä olen käyttänyt #ext4:ää ilman #journaali'a, mutta en ole lainkaan varma, onko se optimaalinen. #exfat tietysti sopisi muuten kuin nyrkki hanuriin, mutta #käyttöoikeudet menisivät vinksin vonksin. #floss #muistitikku #atkjuttuja

Um Backups auf ein #Samba oder #NFS #Share auszulagern, braucht es gar kein Addon. Das geht otb mit Bordmitteln.

Ich würde gern, nach der Erfahrung, dass die komplette Konfiguration sowie #Datenbank weg waren (komplett leerer Ordner /homeassistant) gerne diese auf ein vernünftiges #Dateisystem wie #ext4 oder #ZFS auslagern.

#exFat ist, basierend auf #Fat32 einfach #FailByDesign und nicht zeitgemäß.

Ich wiederhole mich hier:
Wie man auf die Schnapsidee kommen kann, ein #Linux basiertes System mit einem exFat Dateisystem auszuliefern, ist einfach komplett unverständlich und 🤡🤡🤡

@CrazyIT@freiburg.social @alexantemachina@mastodon.social

Ja, in der Tat, aber ca. 48 Std früher.

Liegt dann wohl an dem völlig unverständlichen #exFat als #Dateisystem von #Homeassistant.

Wie kann man nur bei einem #Linux auf so eine Schnapsidee kommen. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤡

I wanted to store some #BorgBackup archives on an #exFAT disk so that any operating system (not just #Linux) could easily read it, but Borg needs a journaling #filesystem. 😢

In theory, there isn't any reason why journaling can't be implemented on FAT 🤔 but everybody probably doesn't consider it worth the effort.

#NTFS would work too, except some of the #Linux machines I run Borg on are running Debian Stable, whose old kernel lacks the ntfs3 driver. 🤦‍♂️

EX Fat

Estaba con problemas para encontrar archivos en un disco externo en mi #Macbook, pero la siguiente utilería hizo el truco fácil:

https://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/

La razón es simple, a #MacOS no le gusta indexar discos externos con formato #exFAT

💾 Recovered my external drive using the legendary testdisk utility.

macOS wouldn’t mount it, diskutil was hanging, and Finder showed nothing. Turned out the partition table was marked as “deleted” after an improper eject.

TestDisk helped me reassign it as primary, and boom - data back, no loss.

🧠 Lesson: ExFAT is fragile. Always eject properly.

I think the most reliable way to move a large file tree between #linux and #macos with stock systems is to format your external drive as #exfat ; then use the tar command to create an archive on the drive you share. This is quicker even than a gigabit connection of scp or rsync I think. Curious about opinions on this.

Linux 6.15’s exFAT file deletion performance boosted

A recent development in the upcoming Linux 6.15 kernel has been spotted, because there was a big improvement to the exFAT file system implementation in relation to how it deletes the files when the “discard” mount option is used. This improvement significantly saves time as a test file after the merge has been deleted in 1.6 seconds, compared to more than 4 minutes of the total time taken.

This pull request makes sure that, upon file deletion, it discards a group of contiguous clusters (that is, clusters that are next to each other) in batch instead of discarding them one by one. This was because in prior kernels, such as 6.14, “if the discard mount option is enabled, the file’s clusters are discarded when they are freed. Discarding clusters one by one will significantly reduce performance. Poor performance may cause soft lockup when lots of clusters are freed.”

The change has been introduced in commit a36e0ab. Since then, the pull request has been merged to the kernel and it will be integrated to the first release candidate of Linux 6.15. A simple performance benchmark has been verified with the following commands:

# truncate -s 80G /mnt/file# time rm /mnt/file

In detail, the performance of this filesystem without this commit is poor, totalling about 4 minutes and 46 seconds in real time, with 12 seconds of system time. In contrast to the patched kernel, it totals about 1 second in real time, with 17 milliseconds of system time.

It’s a huge improvement!

Pero...

Me pregunto ¿donde esta el problema?

@timoruppell As it turns out it was about the filesystem format. While exFAT supports millions of files per dir and huge partitions, #macos writing to #exFAT is just very slow (and also appears to slow down the more you write).

Reformatting external disks with #APFS made a huge difference - maybe 10 times faster writes and no slowing down during the huge 7z file extraction process.

Extraction toos 5-6 days to exFAT formatted disk and only 6 hours to APFS formatted disk.

No, #Apple, this volume was NOT created back in 1970, but only a few minutes ago, yes, in 2024.

This very embarrassing #bug in #macOS when displaying information about an #ExFAT volume in the Finder has been reported by us SIX YEARS ago, and it is still glaringly present in macOS 15.2.

This type of negligence is very problematic for a digital asset manager software like my #NeoFinder, and we can see bugs like that in most parts of the Apple operating system these days.

Come on, don't you have a few dollars to spare for an engineer who can actually fix a few bugs, Tim? #BugFest
