Happy 30th Birthday “New Technology” File System! Thanks for 30 years of demonstrating Linux superiority with a gap that widens with every new kernel release 👍

      I’ll try. Short: It’s not as powerful as ZFS.

      Examples:

      • no low cost snapshots (don’t harm performance)
      • no checksums, no self-healing
      • 256 TB limit
      • magical reserved $ and OneDrive filenames
      • magical 8.3 mapping
      • broken standard API calls (CreateFileW instead of fopen)
      • falsem

        Another reason ZFS is better is it gives you something to do with all your spare RAM.
