Bcachefs Brings Self-Healing Work & Better Reflink Repair For Linux 6.13

[cynic]

Is bcachefs the best software ever written (after rustc of course)?

nope.

I got tired of rolling my own kernels after too many systemd loops where it tried to start X, but fails because of nvidia kernel module issues.

bcachefs is the first thing in more than 10 years to make me actually consider compiling my own kernels again, so it definitely is news worthy.

Wait until I release the Ardent-compiler http://ardent-compiler.com/

You're kidding, aren't you? Still better than rustc of course.

A) Bcachefs is the most interesting file system from a news point of view. ZFS will never get upstream, btrfs will never not be a meme, XFS is old and lacks many features etc. Bcachefs is the only legitimately interesting filesystem, and one of the few actually interesting and relevant bits of news for a larger audience

Bcachefs is a meme. Joke on its own so far. It may change in the future.

Friends don't let friends use X11 or Nvidia.

I am with you about the nvidia, I have a Radeon Vega 64 these days, but some feels off with wayland for me.

If you don't like a FS thanks to its creator, let me tell you about ReiserFS.

... what? btrfs stopped being a meme years ago. It's the default filesystem on many (if not most) distros and provides the vast majority of the features that bcachefs is intending to support someday... except it supports them now. btrfs also has a much larger developer community around it than bcachefs does. bcachefs is much more "meme status" than btrfs and will be until it's finally "ready for usage" after 30 more years of development.

and yet, I still encounter issues with clients (well now ex clients who still ask for help) who run into the no space issue even after deleting stuff. BTRFS will never NOT be a meme and how any distro decides to default to it is utterly absurd to me

Bcachefs already solves massive issues like the storage one mentioned above, it has absurdly good data loss resilience, and has good performance. The only thing meme about it is the mailing list shenanigans, and as a personal anecdote, it's already been more reliable for me then btrfs literally ever has been.
