@marmarek Sorry if this is wrong place for asking, but I wanted to have insights on where the ecosystem is moving.
- TLVM adds lots of overhead, complexity and performance penalties
- BRTFS is offered as second installation candidate under QubesOS installer, where XFS is not offered
- TLVM is still default installation method
- 4k templates are coming along, proving BRTFS to be resilent here, and where TLVM would probably benefit and loose some drawback performance points when compared to BRTFS.
The Reason I ask is that other OSes switched to BRTFS and I’m wondering if Heads should also take steps into having brtfsprogs built and included. wyng-backups now supports xfs/brtfs as well. But as you know, Heads cannot pack everything for all use cases so question here is:
Is QubeSOS default partitioning scheme expected to change to BRTFS by default on Q4.2 release or is TLVM still expected to stay the default instlalation method?
cross-linking to issue showing newer OS installers and Heads documentation and filesystem support might need to be reconsidered:
