Bcachefs Is Now Able To Auto-Fix A Few More Fsck Errors


Another round of Bcachefs file-system fixes were submitted and merged this week for the ongoing Linux 6.16 cycle, including the ability to auto-fix more file-system check 'fsck' errors.

Bcachefs lead developer Kent Overstreet commented on that, " Mark a few more fsck errors as autofix: as a reminder to users, please do keep reporting cases where something needs to be repaired and is not repaired automatically (i.e. cases where -o fix_errors or fsck -y is required)." In addition to auto-fixing more fsck errors, Bcachefs merged a fix for another case insensitive issue, logging the error being corrected in the journal when doing an fsck repair, fixing a recent regression, making some more code work with PREEMPT_RT real-time kernels, and various Bcachefs repair fixes. The cycle of being able to do a bcachefs device add followed by an unmount and then remount was also fixed.
