Why not use an experimental filesystem with functionally zero real world usage that isn't in the upstream kernel and has exactly one full time developer working

Why not use an experimental filesystem with functionally zero real world usage that isn't in the upstream kernel and has exactly one full time developer working on it?
I love the ideas behind bcachefs but suggesting it's anywhere close to being ready for primetime is just silly.
- pmarreck 5y agoWell, that's hopefully coming soon. Nothing wrong with being supportive... I never claimed it was production-ready https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Bcachefs-November-2021 https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Bcachefs...
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoYou asked > Why not bcachefs? To which, "it isn't stable or anything like prod-ready, and you still have to build it as an out-of-tree module" is a perfectly good answer. Hopefully, the answer will become "yes, bcachefs is the solution" soon, but we aren't there today.
- pmarreck 5y agoAlright. I kind of agree. At least I wanted to draw some attention to it at least, as I think it's promising.
