Depends on what kind of flash. F2FS is best on low-mid tier flash like SATA, USB memory sticks, and SD cards. XFS is better on higher end NVMe where the drive is fast relative to the CPU. ext4 is best whenever the user is a giant retard with 3rd world power and a computer held together by paper clips and duct tape.

Solved it. It doesn't work on the live session.

>XFS is better ...said no one, ever. inb4 >it's got the awesome xfs_loolz set of brain-dead utilities which corrupt your filesystem more than it has already corrupted itself!
Charles Russell
I see. My NVMe is not high-end by any means, but I'll try XFS whenever I get around to encrypting my system. >ext4 is best whenever [...] Why is that? Is it because of its journaling? Uh-oh! Conflicting information! Conductor we have a problem! Conductor we have a problem! Conductor we have a problem!
I'd like to migrate my disks to it, but I have to do it one at a time each week.

>>ext4 is best whenever [...] >Why is that? Is it because of its journaling? They all have journaling. ext4 is built on hash tables, which makes it less likely to lose directories in the event of a major fuckup, and forensic recovery is easier because of age, broad use, and maintainers being conservative about changing the format.
Nobody cares about your anecdotes. Everyone has problems with storage. Blaming it on a filesystem millions of other people are using without problems is retarded.
>millions of other people are using kek, sure Let me see which distros use or recommend it! RHEL, Fed.. oh, wait...

Just sudo mkfs -t zfs /dev/sda
Formatting your drive will erase all data though. I mean you could make it format all drives by adding fdisk -l or something and turning it into a script but its just one command and its instant

meds

Oh, sure, what I mean is that additional storage is arriving one week at a time, so I can only format the new disk -> transfer files -> format old disk -> wait for next disk to arrive -> repeat
Thanks.

You can get the ip of your computers connected within your network with ifconfig Then transfer the files with scp or sftp redhat.com/sysadmin/secure-file-transfer-scp-sftp Neither is fast but scp is pretty slow so id go with sftp

I tried meld and it turned out is not what I need. I doesnt seem like it does any hash/checksum check
Jacob Murphy
I tried yesterday and I got results I didnt get it looked like just a list of my files. I'll try again today.
