what is your dream filesystem?

for me it would be btrfs if it had working raid 5 and raid 6 support, if btrfs device remove/replace would not take 100 times longer than doing a plain dd copy and working dedupe

Can you imagine those razor sharp teeth nibbling on your foreskin after you've finished vacuuming the house?

I came to this thread to say that I love bunnies but after reading the previous comment I'm just going to leave

Subhumans like you belong on a rope.

this thread is about badgers now

Also btrfs but with automatic maintenance with sane defaults. Waking up to a read-only system because I did not run balance recently enough is annoying
>inb4 btrfsmaintenance bro
an in-kernel FS should not require 3rd party scripts to function

Also not breaking dedup when defragging the drive.

Also idk maybe it's already in, but easy correction of bitrot and shit from a cold backup (NOT RAID)

fat32, also cute rabbit, my rabbit died after nine years to cancer, made me really sad, do not recommend

isnt defrag with dedupe not possible? or we talking about block level defrag or file level defrag

>>105802579
No mushrooms?

it's block-level and picrel is what I meant

idk what raid is but mine would be like XFS, incredibly optimized but also be able to have a kind of ghost directory structure.
Like Linux could be installed normally, but it can also be set up to have a different directory structure. You could set it up so root is in /System, then link /Users to /System/home or however you want it. To applications running under Linux the normal hierarchy would be valid, but when browsing files or in the shell the ghost hierarchy is valid. ik it wouldn't be as simple as I'm making it sound but this would make using Linux so much more pleasant.

I mean if we do block level dedupe then files gonna be fragmented as fuck. It is hard to put it into words, but I dont see how would you defrag deduped files on a disk to make them continious. files gonna have parts where they are just reflinking to other files and etc. How do you defrag that to make all deduped files continious? Maximum you could do is arrange data on the disk so there are no free space between allocated data in order to have all the free space in one continous block. That is what I do with btrfs balance.

Ext4, but with transparent compression a la NTFS.

Could some anon kindly explain why XFS partitions cannot be shrunk? Also, I have seen warnings in partition managers that shrinking has a risk of data loss, even using filesystems like ext4 or FAT32. Why is this? Can't the data be "shuffled" between the disk and memory, no matter how full the partition is, ensuring a safe copy is kept before deletion of the original copy?

idk about xfs, but that warning message is about dataloss if something goes wrong during the resize.

why, yes, for me it is APFS™ © ®, how would you be able to tell?
