In case someone wonders why bcachefs is sadly no longer part of the mainline kernel. Start reading here: https://lwn.net/Articles/1027289/

Is there any chance bcachefs will be included again in the future?

  • I'm optimistic.

    • Sir Overstreet still seems insistent on having done no wrong on account of fixing user bugs taking priority over literally everything, so clearly there’s a mindset clash that’s gonna prevent a re-merging unless that Torvalds decides to change the same procedure he’s been doing for the past 2 decades or Overstreet knocks his own ego down a peg.

      Edit: I think this makes for some good reading: https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/8/9/427
