btrfs

From btrfs docs

BTRFS is a modern copy on write (COW) filesystem for Linux aimed at implementing advanced features while also focusing on fault tolerance, repair and easy administration. Its main features and benefits are:

  • Snapshots which do not make a full copy of the files
  • Built-in volume management, support for software-based RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10 and others
  • Self-healing - checksums for data and metadata, automatic detection of silent data corruptions
  • Data compression
  • Reflinks, fast and efficient file copies
