Bcachefs Goes to "Externally Maintained"

Re:Bcachefs Goes to "Externally Maintained" by trueismywork on Sunday August 31, 2025 @01:10PM (#45084861)

You're arguing in circles. Either bcachefs is experimental and hence needs a lot of changes and tools to make sure that users dont lose data and hence the fixes are not critical/users can use a custom branch. Or it is stable and the only thing users need is actual big fixes. Not new tools in an RC3.

Don't compare bcachefs with btrfs for stability. Compare it with ext4. (And dont care anecdotal data, compare the process).

So, are we agreeing that btrfs isn't fit for purpose, then?

I don't understand your question. Are you going somewhere with this?

Kent, whenever you're at a point where you could make a good decision and make progress on any non-technical axis, you choose to attack something or someone. This is why you're getting the reactions you are getting. bcachefs design looks good, literally everything else about the project is miserable, because of this.

Now, I fully expect you to react poorly to this message, too. That is the expectation the world has formed of you. Think about that.
