I currently use btrfs on almost all my server and offline backup drives mainly because of the ability to transparently compress files to save space. But apparently btrfs can get corrupted if it unexpectedly loses power? Is there a more robust and corruption resistant filesystem that you’d recommend that also has the ability to compress files?
I think for home archival use is btrfs is a terrible idea. I burnt myself with it so many times.
Yes it should be safe and resistant to unclean shutdowns, but my experience with reliability is not great.
