AdvantagesDisadvantages
2
BtrfsSubvolumes don't have fixed sizeNot supported in RHEL
3
1 big partition (no split between root and home)Transparent compression (saves space, extends device life)
4
Subvolumes for root and homeBuilt-in volume manager
5
Native encryption in future (possibility to convert online)
6
Integrity (corruption should be detected sooner than later)
7
Reflinks and snapshots (good for containers)
8
9
XFSRHEL supportedNot shrinkable (could not practically be a file system for sd-home LUKS homes)
10
1 big partition (no split between root and home)ReflinksNot possible to preserve /home during reinstallation in simple way
11
No LVMNot integrity safe in abnormal circumstances (power loss, etc.)
12
13
Ext4RHEL supportedNo reflinks
14
1 big partition (no split between root and home)ext4 is currently best tested file system in Fedora by farNot possible to preserve /home during reinstallation in simple way
15
No LVMCorruption issues unlikely as ext4 has a lot of historyNot integrity safe in abnormal circumstances (power loss, etc.)
16
17
LVM Thin ProvisioningRHEL supported
Overcomplicated for average user (the truth of free and used space is the thin pool, not the file system)
18
Partition layout?Doesn't solve #152 (user still runs out of space, user must grow the filesystem)
19
20
/usr /etc on partition A, /var /home on partition B
Easy to implementToo complicated
21
22
Flatpaks and mock should use space in ~/There will always be some tools that want to write into a system directories
23
Mock redirected to ~/ has some limitations
