  • The replies here make me so mad at Kent Overstreet.

    I love bcachefs and was using it on quite a few systems. When it was in the mainline kernel, interest was building. I feel like we could have been just a few months from experimental coming off and adoption skyrocketing.

    Then Kent got it pulled from the kernel (so not interested in the “fighting for users” misdirection). Now, as evidenced by the comments here, most users will not touch it.

    I needed it in the kernel so I have been migrating away too but it breaks my heart.

    I am sure somebody will use it, maybe even more than the small number that have historically. And Kent will probably tell himself that is ok.

    It sucks.

    Now, I did not write a COW filesystem. So I guess I am getting what I am owed (nothing). That does not dull the sting much though.
