I have used BTRFS for 6 years on 5 drives without a single journaled corruption.


And I used it for 2 years on 2 drives on 2 different OS'es (Manjaro and Arch) and had 2 corruptions that bricked the drives. And they were root filesystems, so... that wasn't fun.

Statistics are funny like that.


bricked the drive as in the disk was physically defective? disks like to brick on their own, how sure are you btrfs was the reason?
