SD cards for Pinebook Pro

[Arglebargle]

exFAT FUSE != exFAT normal and efficiently implemented. I was not trying to convince anybody, just noted, you may of course use any esoteric thingy you wish. seeing people trying to use btrfs on SD cards, this F2FS thing doesn't look insane after all.

ps. oh, that's that moronix site, where linux always "wins" in every benchmark. but, surprisingly, even they admitted, that exFAT will be unbeatable (third screenshot).

There's nothing wrong with btrfs on an SD card at all. You have to be careful not to trip up wrt write amplification but as far as snapshots and transparent compression go it's actually a really good choice.

Keep giving Phoronix shit, any site that just churns out passive benchmarks with zero understanding of what's actually happening deserves all the mockery the internet can throw at it. The data is sort of useful in that it'll show you how default installs of things compare to each other but there's zero understanding of what the benchmarks are actually doing and the conclusions can be really misleading.

If you care about why that's a bad idea read this post about active vs passive benchmarking by Brendan Gregg and take a look at his analysis of a Bonnie++ bench run to see in detail why just stacking up benchmark numbers can give comically wrong information.
