More stable than what?
I have a multidevice filesystem, comprised of old HDDs and one sketchy PCI-SATA extension. This FS was assembled in 2019 and, though it went through periods of being non-writable, is still working and I haven't lost any[1] data. This is more than 5 years, multitude of FS version upgrades, multiple device replacements with corresponding data evacuation and rereplication.
[1] Technically, I did lose some, when a dying device started misbehaving and writing garbage, and I was impatient and ran a destructive fsck (with fix_errors) before waiting for a bug patch.
Don't want to compare it to other solutions but this is impressive even on its own merits.
- tarruda 1y ago> More stable than what? IIRC the whole drama began because Kent was constantly pushing new features along with critical bug fixes after the proper merge window. I meant stable in the sense where most changes are bug fixes, reducing the friction of working within the kernel schedules.
