Hi,
Revisiting btrfs after many moons and long story short, now that Ubuntu 22.04 LTS has kernel 6.2 available and having tried it with openSUSE Tumbleweed too on my various computers, it seems to be ready for prime time?
I've reformatted my main computer and reinstalled KDE neon and elementary OS (with Win11 canary just in case it's needed for things like firmware updates) and these are based off Ubuntu 22.04 with kernel 6.2 so I've opted for btrfs with default mount options and noatime, compress=zstd as additional options.
I have NVMe SSDs on all my machines and a sata 2.5 inch SSD on my main PC and wondering if these options are optimal for performance and SSD specific operations like async trim and reduced write amplification? Hopefully the old trope "btrfs ate my data" is no longer true.
Wanted to get your thoughts/experiences with btrfs of late, especially compared to the venerable EXT4. It was nice to see a few old threads here with all the btrfs enthusiasm from so many years ago.
Thanks!
