All I know is I said "what the fuck" out loud when I read about growing XFS. Using file system that grows but can't shrink sucks and is the one thing I worry about with Stadia.
Is the systemd XFS stuff secretly intertwined with Stadia? Both the fuckers are coming out of Red Hat so it's not that far fetched...
I'm gonna go eat some breakfast and install FreeBSD. Y'all have a nice day.
EDIT: I mean Stratis up there, not Stadia. I'm gonna leave it as-is because it's a pretty funny mess up.Last edited by skeevy420; 05 February 2020, 01:43 PM.

Also, the kernel isn't volunteering to resize my partitions. That's dangerous territory.

You seem confused about something. Stadia is a Google cloud gaming service. XFS originally was developed by SGI. If you want to deal with shrinking, you can always use LVM thin provisioning
Meant Stratis.
I ate that breakfast so my brain is working now.

Also, are you actually able to close even a single meaningful kernel bug in your self-compiled kernel at all?
on a systemd distro you can't even change the version it is using or you will bork the system?
For using older versions it depends from the rest of the system. If the version you want to use is too old the rest of the system will not work properly as it wants features that are not there.
But this is true of any core library and OS component. Can you run latest Plasma without latest KDE libraries and/or QT? Maybe? Maybe not? What about GNOME?
What about running BlueZ and expecting working bluetooth audio with an ancient PulseAudio where this feature was not supported or buggy?
Also, the kernel isn't volunteering to resize my partitions. That's dangerous territory.
And it isn't an optional, it's not "volunteering" or asking nicely. It's literally Hitler. You can't disable the kernel functionality if you want to use a disk.

If you are interested in resizing you can look at other options such as btrfs or LVM or ext4 , or if you really want something that is heavy duty, CephFS. With btrfs, you can shrink the devices btrfs uses. I would avoid resizing however and use one partition if possible.
So, if you go to FreeBSD, you are doing so for nothing based on a bunch of myths and false information.Last edited by Neraxa; 05 February 2020, 01:59 PM.
