Seeing great results from bcachefs just makes me more sad that Kent and the other kernel devs couldn't come to an understanding to keep bcachefs in-tree. I want to use it for my storage arrays so badly, but I'm still stuck with btrfs as the only available in-tree filesystem with modern features.

Personally I've had 0 issues with the bcachefs dkms packages from distro repos. Unlike zfs it keeps up with upstream kernel releases so it's far less hassle than running zfs dkms.

You can use NASty as NAS appliance. It's based on NixOS, offers flexibility, atomic upgrades and all bells and whistles of bcachefs.

I think you are sugarcoating the shit show that was bcachefs's history of involvement in the linux kernel. I mean, do I need to mention that the person was subjected to a code of conduct enforcement action due to his long history of abuse and unprofessional behavior?
