I want to know so I can decide which is the most suitable for my External HD
I’m going to Format this HD to run a mobile DEV enviroment
By mobile DEV environment you mean a Hard Drive with Linux or Unix OS on it? In that case you would want a stable, proved filesystem which supports advanced journaling+ACLs, right?
ext2/3/4 or Btrfs comes to mind then, and I wouldn’t really recommend anything else because…
a) …I haven’t had so much experience with the other ones
b) …the other ones have lived their lives and have been replaced by what I consider the newer and better alternatives anyway.
As for your question, I don’t see how anyone could answer that one since data corruption to some great extents occurs directly on the physical component (I/O error, etc…) itself and is not so much a problem that happens on filesystem level (in other words the filesystem is just a grid layed on lands already plagued by moles).
Their main role is really to manage/organise your files, prevent fragmentations, allow this and that attribute for your data…
still my knowledge on filesystems has its limits so there might be some filesystem features that prevent possible corruption where it’s most expected. And those I would expect to be in the one I listed before.
