XFS is the real deal, a filesystem developed for supercomputers.

get this FAT and ext poo poo outta here.

the one time I used xfs, it got munged in a power outage and Red Hat/CentOS, in their infinite wisdom, decided that xfs_repair doesn't run on boot

I was pretty jazzed to try it out too :(

edit:

back on topic, why do y'all think exFAT hasn't caught on yet? I love FAT32 to pieces but the 4GB file size limit kind of cramps my style

Because Microsoft is extracting patent royalties from everyone who implements it and there's no reason to use it over NTFS, ext4, or HFS+/APFS except on resource-constrained embedded systems or where strict compliance with the SDXC standard (which mandates support for exFAT) is required.

well that's really poop of them :(
