Ext4 for my root filesystem, although I’ve been eyeing BTRFS for a while now as a replacement.
BTRFS for all my arrays and auxillary drives - aside from one oopsie where some drives had power issues and retained corrupted data (BTRFS managed to recover everything just fine), it’s been a fine experience I guess.
Judging by the amount of responses mentioning being burnt by data loss, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of these were probably caused by running “btrfs fsck” 😱😅
I am also pretty interested in btrfs. I recently redid my laptop and did btrfs for everything there. No btrfs on my server yet though. Ext4 is just really optimal for data recovery. Maybe if I redo my server sometime in the future I’ll start with btrfs.

I have been using #btrfs for years now. I have not had any issues with it.
