I lost data and had to restore from 12 hour old backups one too many times with BTRFS. XFS + Ext4 for me from here on out, but that's one of the great things about Linux: lots of choices.

Lamentably, for those of us that just use linux, the lots of choices seem weird and frankly a little scary (Stories of data loss with BTRFS I have heard before.) I use the default Ext4? I think?

But as a believer in open source, I really would love it if the choices we had were so much superior to the proprietary stuff that was out there that it made using an open source OS a no brainer.

XFS all the way down...or ZFS (on FreeBSD)
