Bcachefs Lands More Fixes As It Works Toward Better Self-Healing & Automatic Repair


This week's batch of Bcachefs file-system fixes have been submitted ahead of the Linux 6.15-rc5 test kernel due out on Sunday.

This week's batch of Bcachefs file-system fixes have been submitted ahead of the Linux 6.15-rc5 test kernel due out on Sunday. Bcachefs lead developer Kent Overstreet described of the ongoing Bcachefs self-healing and automatic repair capabilities:"We're continuing to steadily improve on self healing/automatic repair; we want to automatically repair and mount no matter what filesystem damage has occurred (and I've been seeing some fun ones, we had one this week that was from pcie power savings mode gone haywire). So if you ever run into something where a manual fsck is required, do drop me a note and include the output of 'bcachefs show-super -f errors' - that'll tell me what to add to the whitelist."
