Comment on Best Filesystem for NAS?

Never had an issue with EXT4.

Had a problem on a NAS where BTRFS was taking “too long” for systemD to check it, so just didn’t mount it… bit of config tweaking and all is well again.

I use EXT* and BTRFS where ever I can because I can manipulate it with standard tools (inc gparted).

I have 1 LVM system which was interesting, but I wouldn’t do it that way in the future (used to add drives on a media PC)

And as for ZFS … I’d say it’s very similar to BTRFS, but just slightly too complex on Linux with all the licensing issues, etc. so I just can’t be bothered with it.

As a throw-away comment, I’d say ZFS is used by TrusNAS (not a problem, just sayin’…) and… that’s about it??

As to the OPs original question, I agree with the others here… something’s not right there, but it’s probably not the filesystem.
