So I decided to switch to xfs. Do you think its worth the effort?
AFAIK there is no conversion for ext4->xfs. However, there is a conversion for ext4->btrfs. It is also reversible if you end up not liking btrfs. I've switched to btrfs as my file system of choice though. (Former xfs user)
Thank you for your input. After your response, I read a little bit about btrfs. It seems the feature set is quite enticing. I am considering using it except that there seems to be a lack of gui tools for it. I am not very familiar with dealing with filesystems, otherwise I am a quite comfortable command line user.
Apart from a howtoforge article and a couple of pages on the btrfs wiki I couldn't find beginner level documentation to get familiar with the command line tools for btrfs. Could you point me to some resources to get started?
Thanks a lot everyone who responded.
