Correct me if I’m wrong, but everybody considers bcachefs to still be in alpha.
Only a complete idiot would use an alpha stage filesystem in production and then whine about bugs and data corruption.
I think this post smells of clickbait.
It is, a little. There’s no information in the text, so if there is any it’s in the embedded YouTube video, and I don’t watch talking heads when the information could be an article.
BcacheFS seems to have been released around ~2019 and it’s still alpha?
One thing you don’t want to fuck around with is your file system. It’s one area of computing where conservatism is paramount.
I think a filesystem is the kind of thing I’d expect to stay in alpha or beta a really long time 😅 I’m not the most technical linux user thought so maybe that is a long time, I dunno
But like Wayland took ages to be usable. I wonder how long btrfs took to get out of unusable early stages…
Edit: I didn’t see that the dev had said its production ready… I don’t really buy that lol 😅
