    Same same but different. My latest OCS-Mag article reviews fstransform, a nifty utulity for Linux filesystem conversion, including overview, ETX4 to XFS use case, unsupported formats, NTFS test, data integrity, speed, and more. Have fun.

    Interesting, thanks.
    That makes me wonder what's the "best" filesystem to use for a standard home system.
    I currently use EXT4 for my root and home partitions.
    The definition of "best" is not very easy though.
    Fast, secure and self-healing?

    For home use, any which goes, there's really no importance to that. Ext4 is perfectly fine,
