Migrating Away from Bcachefs
Pretty much exactly a year ago, I posted about how I was trying out this bcachefs thing, being cautiously optimistic (but reminding you to keep backups). Now I'm going the other way; I've converted my last bcachefs filesystem to XFS, and I don't intend to look at it again in the near future.
Pretty much exactly a year ago, I posted about how I was trying out this bcachefs thing, being cautiously optimistic (but reminding you to keep backups). Whenever you see Kent defending his filesystem, he usually emphasizes how he has a lot of happy users and very few bugs left and things are going to be great after Just The Next Refactor. Nor that it is doomed; perhaps Kent will accept that he needs to work differently for it to thrive in the kernel (and the Linux ecosystem as a whole), no matter how right he feels he is.
