If you are setting up a SLES 15 server that will require very large data volumes and journaling capabilities, the best choice for your data volumes is XFS. XFS is a high-performance and scalable file system that supports large files and file systems, online defragmentation and resizing, metadata checksums, and other features. XFS also provides journaling capabilities that ensure data consistency and integrity in case of system crashes or power failures. XFS is the default file system for data partitions in SLES 15.
