     @nixCraft Fun fact: RaiserFS is created by a convicted killer.
     Less fun fact: RaiserFS was removed from the Linux mainline.

     @nixCraft What is 'Creation Timestamp'?
     I have Ubuntu 22.04 and ext4.
     ''stat' tool shows four timestamps: Access, Modify, Change and Birth.

     @nixCraft The first box on this diagram is wrong. ext4 does store a file's creation time.

     @nixCraft I've always been using ext4, but a few months ago I saw someone's post here (I won't be able to find it) about how he was able to restore all his data from a ZFS backup after his system SSD was toasted.

     And here I am, doing crappy manual backups (whenever I don't forget about it). I've been eyeing ZFS ever since then, but I don't know how these file systems compare to each other in performance (especially when it's encrypted). Is gaming still an option with all those fancy features?

     @nixCraft And if you put yourfilesystem atop LVM and/or MD ? I know I've live added disks to an ext4 on top of LVM more than 10 years ago.
