Fedi, I am making a media server.

What would be the best format for the disk?

I am on debian so I am between btrfs and ext4? Pros and cons to either in this specific usecase?

@sarvo@novoa.nagoya I formatted my server's root and media cache drives to xfs

@iska @sarvo All my linux stuff is xfs formatted, its a good fs.

@dcc @iska @sarvo does it fare better with power fails now?

@bonifartius @iska @sarvo Yea? why would would i use it.

@dcc @iska @sarvo i think it's a good fs, i just remembered that power loss was something it didn't really like decades ago. that said, i'd use xfs, ext4 or zfs, depending on what i want to do.
