</div>If your requirements for a file system has not changed and you don't have a<br>
specific reason to use something else, I'd stay with the default, tested,<br>
production-quality ext4. I can't speak for anyone else, but my data is very<br>
important and I'd rather NOT be a beta tester without a really good reason.<br>
