Originally posted by geearf View PostYet I am concerned that Kent may abandon this project eventually like he did with bcache, so before a merge we might need a few devs with full understanding of the codebase.
If Kent drops the ball and moves onto something else, the company relying upon BcacheFS can pay another dev (or a few) to do maintenance.
(see BTRFS and Oracle/Facebook/SUSE).
Kent has found a company sponsoring BcacheFS (they use it on NAS boxes), and that company apparently is insisting on him finishing a few key features (extrefs, which will lead to CoW snapshots - though not necessarily before merging)

That's why, before merging any new filesystem into the kernel, a sponsorship from a company is required.

The promise of support is great, but if it takes 6 months for the new dev to get up to speed before low level yet important bugs can be fixed...
It is awesome that a company is sponsoring him already, I had no idea.
Thank you for the link, I'll read into it right away.

I'm not aware of the proper fix being done yet.

One could easily be led to suspect that perhaps the Linux kernel is -- to paraphrase the inimitable Eddie Izzard -- being held together by string, duct-tape and a note from Linus' mother.
