Dendrobatus Azureus<p>Today I learned the following. Journaling and journaling are two separate distinctly separate manners of keeping file systems in Sync.</p><p>When microsoft talks about journaling in NTFS you should never, ever think about the robust journaling system that Ext4 has</p><p>In comparison EXT4 journaling is a god while en NTFS journaling is not even an ant</p><p>I have EXT4 file systems connected to an extremely unstable machine. This thing crashes to green screens more than 64 times a day.</p><p>{It's a Gigabyte Mini PC in case you're interested never buy those. The machine came with overheating errors from the beginning. The factory installed a fan for the APU which is not even suitable for a GPU that was made a decade ago}</p><p>I've not even lost one bit of data on those EXT4 file systems.</p><p>Those NTFS file systems with journaling? I lost all of them. All NTFS file systems were lost</p><p>I didn't lose data because I have backups the file systems just keeled over simply because the machine kept rebooting </p><p>Thank you for being so robust EXT4 </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Journal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Journal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/filesystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>filesystem</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/EXT4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EXT4</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NTFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NTFS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ClosedSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClosedSource</span></a></p>
