    Bcachefs Lands More Bug Fixes In Linux 6.14

    Phoronix: Bcachefs Lands More Bug Fixes In Linux 6.14

    Last week saw the big set of Bcachefs updates merged for the Linux 6.14 kernel that included the last anticipated big on-disk format change as well as scalability improvements. It was a particularly big pull after Bcachefs missed out on any changes being upstreamed for Linux 6.13. This week a set of follow-on fixes/improvements have been merged for this experimental copy-on-write file-system...

    People are going to be surprised how fast bcachefs will be able to take off the experimental label. It's a testament to the design that not one data eating incident has happened since getting merged to the kernel. The core is strong, it's just a question of developing the surroundings to be production ready. And new developers and first paid ones are appearing in this kernel cycle. This will finally be the killer FS Linux has lacked since it's inception.

      This is certainly not true. I have lost data but it is an experimental filesystem so that's not a huge surprise given that plenty of much more mature filesystems including ZFS has introduced data loss regressions and bugs before. https://www.phoronix.com/news/OpenZF...ruption-Battle. I restore from backups whenever I find corruption and I highly recommend it often enough especially if you are going to try experimental filesystems.

        I sure hope so! Linux needs more choice - more than ever..... and some improvements for their file systems are badly needed.

          You have lost your data, not bcachefs.

          Each and every report of inaccessible data that has been reported has had the data recovered unless the user took actions that destroyed it.

            Awesome that Bcachefs is in the kernel after so many years, even thought it has had a rocky start it is of the the most interesting new file systems in a really long time

              How dare you! Insulting the holy bcachefs. And insulting the holy ZFS too! You must burn in hell!!!

                As I acknowledged before, it is just an experimental filesystem. Fanboys who lie about Bcachefs or ZFS or any other filesystem never losing data are always wrong because even firmware has storage bugs and nothing other than redundant backups are going to save you from it. Better learn the lesson before it's too late.

                  no, it's a testament that nobody uses it. filesystem which will not eat my data
