Bcachefs Fixes Pull Once Again Frustrates Linus Torvalds - Two Choices Offered


Linus Torvalds merged the newest round of fixes to the experimental Bcachefs file-system, but it's left Linux creator Linus Torvalds frustrated and he's presented two choices for the file-system moving forward due to the continued LKML drama.

A pull request was sent out today providing the latest round of various fixes to Bcachefs for Linux 6.12 following the merge window that ended last week. You're still basically the only developer, there's no real sign that that will change, and you seem to feel like sending me untested stuff that nobody else has ever seen the day before the next rc release is just fine. As of writing the latest response is from Linus Torvalds encouraging Kent to "WORK WITH OTHERS" and then ended with:"I'm contemplating just removing bcachefs entirely from the mainline tree.
