Potentialy dumb question here, is there any benefit to using btrfs on a non system disk? I’m fairly ignorant on file systems, asfaik btrfs largest benefit is snapshotting, not sure of anyothers.

    make menuconfig says:

    Ext2 is a standard Linux file system for hard disks.

    And this for ext4:

    This is the next generation of the ext3 filesystem.

    But defaly indeed is ext4.

      ext4 is literally just the latest version of the ext filesystem (AKA it has the most funcionality).

      If you REALLY wanted MAX speed, you could make your system drive ext2, but you would lose some metadata, drive info & management tools.
