Bcachefs Merged into the Linux 6.7 Kernel

I've experienced corruption and data loss with Btrfs each of the times I've tried using it, too, after only about a week of use at most.

Thankfully, all of those incidents were with some non-critical, throw-away VMs where the data loss wasn't really an issue.

I've also used ext4 under the same circumstances for years, and I can't think of a single time that I've lost data, nor have I experienced corruption that fsck couldn't easily deal with.

I, too, would have to go back to the 1990s to think of a filesystem I used that was that unreliable.

After what I experienced, I don't trust Btrfs at all, and I have no plans to ever use it again.

I am glad to hear it's not just me!

I worked at SUSE for 4Y and used it every day. The company is in deep denial about its problems, or that there are any problems, and when I pointed at ZFS as a more mature tool, this was actually mocked.
