Potentialy dumb question here, is there any benefit to using btrfs on a non system disk? I’m fairly ignorant on file systems, asfaik btrfs largest benefit is snapshotting, not sure of anyothers.

    RHEL is going hard on XFS, they’ve even completely removed BTRFS support from their kernel - they don’t have any in-house development competency in it after all. It’s somewhat understandable in that regard, since otherwise they wouldn’t necessarily be able to offer filesystem-level support to their paying customers.

    Though it is a little bit amusing, seeing as Fedora - the RHEL upstream - uses BTRFS as their default filesystem.

      If there is one thing one can learn from the Linux community at large is how to agree on absolutely nothing and still be friends (mostly, that is. As long as Linus isn’t involved. Then the gloves are off. Who dared to put rust in the kernel?!)
