From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just a simple question : Which file system do you recommend for Linux? Ext4...?

EDIT : Thanks to everyone who commented, I think I will try btrfs on my root partition and keep ext4 for my home directory 😃

Also taking f2fs for a spin.

As far as I have experienced (I didn't measure this): don't use that partition for container layers. It might just be my system, but f2fs has slowed my container engine down a bit.

I excactly doing this. I run coreOS with f2fs and it runs really fast. No issues so far.

Totally accepting it is my system being slow. It is a openwrt router after all.
