alt Hacker NewsSeeing great results from bcachefs just makes me more sad that Kent and the other kernel devs couldn't come to an understanding to keep bcachefs in-tree. I want to use it for my storage arrays so badly, but I'm still stuck with btrfs as the only available in-tree filesystem with modern features.

You can use NASty as NAS appliance. It's based on NixOS, offers flexibility, atomic upgrades and all bells and whistles of bcachefs.

I think you are sugarcoating the shit show that was bcachefs's history of involvement in the linux kernel. I mean, do I need to mention that the person was subjected to a code of conduct enforcement action due to his long history of abuse and unprofessional behavior?
Personally I've had 0 issues with the bcachefs dkms packages from distro repos. Unlike zfs it keeps up with upstream kernel releases so it's far less hassle than running zfs dkms.
