Bcachefs lead developer Kent Overstreet has already sent out the plethora of feature updates destined for the now-open Linux 6.16 kernel cycle

Bcachefs lead developer Kent Overstreet has already sent out the plethora of feature updates destined for the now-open Linux 6.16 kernel cycle. Bcachefs for Linux 6.16 will now also allow poisoned extents to be moved, incompatible features can now be enabled at run-time via syfs, more changes to support deployable disk images, and "major" improvements around error messages. For Bcachefs repair and self-healing file-system work, recovery passes are now initiated in the background if errors are detected.
