Btrfs would beg to differ.

Is it really not that stable? I’m trying to switch from ext4 because of the built-in compression

I’ve been using it with Ubuntu and Arch with no issues for a couple of years, so …?

I just lost a raid 0 array for what seems like no reason, all I even had to do was reformat and both drives are working again. It’s fortunate I only use them for my steam library.

That being said I have an Ubuntu machine that’s been running 4 drives in RAID 5 for like 5 years so… Your mileage may vary?

I will stick to static partitions, I am aware btrfs and RAID don’t mix well
