    So does every other filesystem, given similar usage. – Michael Hampton Aug 01 '19 at 08:18

    ESXi doesn't care. – Chopper3 Aug 01 '19 at 08:21
  • Hi, your question is bit vague. Choice of filesystem depends on variety of factors such as applications, I/O patters, data volume. Can you provide more details? – Tux_DEV_NULL Aug 01 '19 at 09:50
  • @Tux_DEV_NULL , I am looking for stable filesystem, something like netapp filesysyem. IO and data volume is not concern. – Babasaheb Aug 01 '19 at 10:08
  • After reading, https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/sun-unified-storage/documentation/deploy-10k-vm-zfssa-2245248.pdf and https://www.assyoma.it/single-post/2015/02/02/ZFS-BTRFS-XFS-EXT4-and-LVM-with-KVM-%E2%80%93-a-storage-performance-comparison , I think ZFS would be right chioce . – Babasaheb Dec 18 '19 at 12:11
