    Hi there! I'm not sure which format to use between EXT4, XFS, ZFS and BTRFS for my Proxmox installation, wanting something that once installed will perform well and hold up. I've heard that EXT4 and XFS are pretty similar (what's the difference between the two?). ZFS and BTRFS have some...

    Which Filesystem for Hardware Raid 1 SSD drives?

    Hello, My understanding is some file systems will keep writing logs on the drives all the time. So if a drive is SSD and hardware RAID 1 this should be avoided because SSDs can only have so many writes before they start marking sectors as bad. What is the best filesystem to hold the VMs in...
