      Great example of why we use XFS for general purpose workloads. Screaming fast, incredibly mature and stable.

        Good old XFS, still blazing fast.

        Those charts make me want to stay away from brtfs. Do they expect to do anything for performance on brtfs?

          Why is ext4 still default in Fedora Workstation instead of XFS if used for general purpose?

            The one feature XFS doesn't have is the ability to shrink the file system size. That's really the only technical reason I know of.

              Which is really a ridiculous thing to be doing, anyway.

                Awfully weird since CentOS 7 went to XFS and that was like Fedora 19 behind it.

                  I think Fedora Server Edition is using XFS.

                    So weird that there are two different standards.
