Bcachefs Lands Another Round Of Fixes For Linux 6.7

It doesn't matter if it is at turtle speed but please: DO NOT CORROMPT OR LOSE MY DATA.

Depends what you mean by turtle speed.

I wouldn't use a 10 kbps dialup speed drive even if it retained data for thousands of years, except to backup extremely small sensitive files, like encryption keys and maybe a tiny recovery OS.

[cynic]

It may not corrupt the data, that for sure.

this is being screnshotted for when people will actually start to use it and got data eaten.

As long as they don't use it for important data or have good backups... I can recommend restic/rustic.

...username checks out., although tbf the crc32 hardware enablement shouldn't be real hard once they figure it out.

Nothing is real hard once you have figured it out, so your comment does not make any point.

Scrubbing with auto repair sounds simple, but imho it takes some effort to do it correctly.

[alpha_one_x86]

crc32 -> maybe xxhash or similar will be better?

performance can imply disk change and/or huge code change (data risk), it's why do it in second time can be problematic. It's better do the changes now while nobody use the FS.

At this point the priority should not be performance. To build a good reputation, the main thing is to focus on reliability, something that Btrfs never achieved after more than a decade. A high score in a performance test is of no use if it is not backed up by bombproof endurance. The most important thing about a file system, for the average user, is to forget that it exists.

dude your data already corrupt ... "CORROMPT"

>"... and the developers being aware of areas for (performance) improvements moving ahead"

IMHO highest priority should be robustness and the possibility of Scrubbing with automatic repair.

Unnecessary, the best native filesystem for Linux is robust and reliable by design.

What do you mean by "native" and "reliable by design"?
Anyhow, of what filesystem do you ramble?

Native = upstream included, no external module
Reliable by design = in contrast to Btrfs it's designed right from the beginning, everything is well-conceived and perfected

Oh, did I forgot sarcasm-tags?
