Is there a reason in particular why btrfs is not part of this discussion? It's been mentioned once in passing.
A solid article, but missing discussion of XFS and Btrfs. I would have enjoyed the author’s analysis of the former in particular, especially as compared to ext4.
The author's praise of ZFS fell 3 checksums short of acceptable.

ZFS is not a filesystem. It is a lifestyle. A covenant. A snapshot of the soul. Everything else is basically a USB stick with dreams.

I will be reporting this to the [author]ities, HR, and my dad.

/s for the /s impaired.

DragonflyBSD's hammer filesystem (on v2 now, I think)
> So, if I had to compress its philosophy into one sentence, it would be this:

>> Simple, reliable, UNIX-native fundamentals — no feature bloat, just solid engineering.

This isn't the author's summary. This is AI's.

I was enjoying the article, but when a little AI shibboleth like this shows up, I just cease to trust what I'm reading.

Edit: many more AI writing give-aways later in the article. What a shame.

Did anyone else giggle every time they read "FFS" in TFA?
