A year ago I set up Ubuntu server with 3 ZFS pools on my server, normally I don’t make copies of very large files but today I was making a copy of a ~30GB directory and I saw in rsync that the transfer doesn’t exceed 3mb/s (cp is also very slow).

What is the best file system that “just works”? I’m thinking of migrating everything to ext4

EDIT: I really like the automatic pool recovery feature in ZFS, has saved me from 1 hard drive failure so far

    XFS has “just worked” for me for a very long time now on a variety of servers and desktop systems.

        I don’t see how the default filesystem of the enterprise Linux distro could be considered obscure.

          I don’t believe that XFS is the default for anything these days. I could be wrong though.

            Default since RHEL 8. Consider looking up such facts before posting wrong facts.
