NTFS turns 30 years old today! I hear it's still in use by some crufty old legacy operating systems ๐Ÿ˜ (en.wikipedia.org)

What's the difference from XFS?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

XFS is more like ext3 or ext4 than zfs. It has now COW, snapshots, although it is very performant and can handle very large volumes. It's a pretty good all around filesystem. I trust it more than ext4, but you also can't shrink it, like you can ext4.
