What filesystem is currently best for a single nvme drive with regard to performance read/write as well as stability/no file loss? ext4 seems very old, btrfs is used by RHEL, ZFS seems to be quite good… what do people tend to use nowadays? What is an arch users go-to filesystem?

    Don’t use ZFS. It’s that simple. It was always more of a buzzword than anything else, I feel, and the licensing issues just make it a non-starter for me. -Linux Torvalds

    Realistically you aren’t going to notice what filesystem you use, be it XFS, ext4, etc. Aside from fringe cases it really doesn’t matter. Don’t waste brain cycles on the decision.
