Just another day at the office. Managing thousands of commits from houndreds of contributors. Not really much.

It's amazing when bcachefs intorduces new on disk format versions and accounting rewrites in middle of RC period and still manages to be astonishingly solid. I guess such could not be possible or allowed unless it was marked experimental.

I'm looking forward to the arrival of the driver for rtl8812au.

installed bcachefs immediately on an NVMe, and an SSD, both more or less sharing the same workload, but I didnt pair them since my SSD is super old now, and gotta say, it's been great, perf has been solid, and well, already proven to be more reliable for me the btrfs

Still waiting for them to implement subvolume mounting. But I'm interested in testing it after that.

what is your use case that cannot be achieved by bind mount or bindfs?

what is your use case that cannot be achieved by bind mount or bindfs?

multiple distros/system snapshots on a single FS, selected by subvol=$distro_name on the kernel command line.

Cleaner mounting without other directories lingering around.

Btrfs got all of those things, sure it's been around longer but if bcachefs is going to take over btrfs they better implement those things at some point.

Yes, exactly. It has to at least match comfort points of btrfs to be able to start appealing due to what is better in it.
