For now, ext3/4 are "the" standard in all distributions of linux. But BTRFS is out now ... it's available in the latest distributions ... fedora and ubuntu ... but BTRFS is still considered experimental so it's not actually *used* by default. Sometime in the next couple of years or so, BTRFS will replace extX as the standard, and finally linux filesystems can come *somewhere* in the same world of catching-up to ZFS. (My solaris snobbery shining through...) So it's probably a good idea to start getting used to BTRFS now. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
