== Choosing a filesystem ==
 +
 +
Using the default filesystem currently proposed during the installation of your distribution is a good idea. It makes sure that the filesystem is properly integrated and that the distribution trusts it enough (with data integrity, and security<ref>See the [https://lwn.net/Articles/939097/ Unmaintained filesystems as a threat vector lwn.net article] for more details.</ref>) to propose it by default.
 +
 +
=== Known issues and limitations ===
 +
 +
* With NTFS the free software implementation lacks the ability to repair the filesystem without nonfree software, so if you have data in NTFS filesystem it would be a good idea to move it to other filesystems.
 +
 +
* ReiserFS 3 will be removed from Linux in 2025.<ref name="reiserfs-deprecated">
 +
The Linux kernel documentation for the REISERFS_FS option tells that:<br/>
 +
Reiserfs is deprecated and scheduled to be removed from the kernel<br/>
 +
in 2025. If you are still using it, please migrate to another<br/>
 +
filesystem or tell us your usecase for reiserfs.<br/></ref>

Introduction

This article is about filesystems support and might be extended to take into account block device technologies too like LVM,RAID, etc.

Choosing a filesystem

Using the default filesystem currently proposed during the installation of your distribution is a good idea. It makes sure that the filesystem is properly integrated and that the distribution trusts it enough (with data integrity, and security[1]) to propose it by default.

Known issues and limitations

  • With NTFS the free software implementation lacks the ability to repair the filesystem without nonfree software, so if you have data in NTFS filesystem it would be a good idea to move it to other filesystems.
  • ReiserFS 3 will be removed from Linux in 2025.[2]

Defaults

The defaults filesystems used are often a good indication of what filesystems are best supported by the distribution.

Distribution Defaults Comments
Dragora 3.0 beta2
Instal/l method Boot software Default filesystem
Graphical installer BIOS ext3
In the graphical installer, the "FILE SYSTEM SELECTION" default choice is set to ext3. Beside that there is no defaults for the partitioning.
Dynebolic
Guix 1.4.0
Install method Boot software Partitions
Graphical installer BIOS bios_grub swap /
not encrypted not encrypted not encrypted
N/A swap ext4
Hyperbola
LibreCMC
Parabola
ProteanOS
PureOS 10 (byzantium)
Install method Boot software Partitions
Graphical installer BIOS /boot /
not encrypted LUKS
ext4 ext4
  • In the graphical installer, encryption is mandatory when selecting "Erase disk", but it can be avoided when using manual partitioning.

    Reiserfs is deprecated and scheduled to be removed from the kernel
    in 2025. If you are still using it, please migrate to another
    filesystem or tell us your usecase for reiserfs.
  3. ↑ 3.003.013.023.033.043.053.063.073.083.093.10 This tells if that filesystem can be used in a system.scm system definition.
  4. ↑ 4.004.014.024.034.044.054.064.074.084.094.104.11 Since users simply run commands manually during the manual installation, they can easily use the (packaged) tools to create new filesystems and add them to /etc/fstab for automatic mounting.

  6. ↑ 6.06.1 There is no HURD installer yet.
  7. ↑ After creating the rootfs with mkfs.ext4 from Guix, in Replicant, it says "Corrupted <vendor> SD card" in the notification bar.
  8. ↑ We can easily view the card content with "File Manager". It also detects a new MicroSD card when it is just formatted.

  18. ↑ The installation fails with an error.
  19. ↑ The graphical installer complains about some UUID related issue
  20. ↑ In the graphical installer, the installation fails with: "The installer has encountered an unexpected problem. [...]", and we then get a stacktrace. If we manually install with the same system.scm we'd probably get the exact same stacktrace.
  21. ↑ Once installed, the rootfs is mounted with FUSE and ntfs-3g.
  22. ↑ The installation succeeds, but then sudo and policykit are broken due to wrong permissions. So users can't install any software. It's also a very bad idea to use NTFS since there is at the time of writing no way to safely repair corrupted NTFS filesystems with free software: The only tools we have are in ntfs-3g and they are way too experimental and dangerous so they are probably not shipped by any distribution.
  23. ↑ 23.023.123.2 According to the reiser 4 wiki, upstream Linux has no reiser4 support.
