That being said I can make btrfs look really stupid on some
workloads.
There's going to be cases where Btrfs isn't awesome. We still use xfs
for all our storage related tiers (think databases). Performance is
always going to be workload dependent, and Btrfs has built in overhead
out the gate because of checksumming and the fact that we generate far
more metadata.
Just to be clear here, the choice of XFS here is purely based on
performance, not on the reliability of the file systems, right?
(So it's not “all the really important data is stored in XFS”.)
Thanks,
Florian
