Breaking: Linus Torvalds drops Bcachefs support in Linux kernel 6.17 due to ongoing clashes with developer Kent Overstreet. Tensions rise over submission rules and new features during RC phase. #Linux #KernelDrama #Bcachefs https://dub.sh/8FcVSd1

Bcachefs is set for an exit with Linux 6.17.

Ephraims Wochenrückblick: KW 26, 2025

Woche 26 war in der FOSS-Welt vollgepackt mit Meldungen. Von GIMP und Blender über Element und den Linux Kernel gab es einiges zu berichten.

Disagreements over late-stage fixes and developer conduct led Linus Torvalds to drop Bcachefs from the upcoming Linux kernel 6.17 release.

Look like @torvalds might remove #bcachefs from the #Linux with version 6.17:

'"I have pulled this, but also as per that discussion, I think we'll be parting ways in the 6.17 merge window."'

To quote from there:

'"You seem to have forgotten what the point of the merge window was again.

We don't start adding new features just because you found other bugs.

[…]

Make the -rc fixes be pure fixes.

Kernel Linux 6.16-rc2: release compatta, ma ricca di ottimizzazioni e fix

IMHO: If you are a file system developer and do not care about the LTS branches of the Linux kernel your file system should not be part of the official Linux project. #BCacheFS

Reference: https://github.com/koverstreet/bcachefs/issues/900#issuecomment-2930691335

Highlights from the main #bcachefs merge for #Linux 6.16: https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/522544fc71c27b4b432386c7919f71ecc79a3bfb

- Incompatible features may now be enabled at runtime, via "opts/version_upgrade" in sysfs.

- Various changes to support deployable disk images

- Major error message improvements for btree node reads, data reads, and elsewhere.

- New option, 'rebalance_on_ac_only'.

- Repair/self healing:

- We can now kick off recovery passes and run them in the background if we detect errors.

- Performance:

- Faster snapshot deletion

- Faster device removal

- We're now coalescing redundant accounting updates prior to transaction commit, taking some pressure off the journal.

- Stack usage improvements: All allocator state has been moved off the stack

@Rhababerbarbar in #NixOS it is pretty simple to build a custom kernel

e.g. i created a kernel with #bcachefs

A few bits from the main #bcachefs merge for #Linux 6.14:

https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/2622f290417001b0440f4a48dc6978f5f1e12a56

"'Lots of scalability work, another big on-disk format change. […]

Like 6.11, this is another big and xpensive automatic/required on disk format upgrade. This is planned to be the last big on disk format upgrade before the experimental label comes off. There will be one more minor on disk format update for a few things that couldn't make this release.'"

Aaaaaw crap. #BCacheFS is what I want to replace my #BTRFS partitions. But, it seems that BTRFS might actually win back performance gains quicker than BCacheFS will become mature enough to use - if it ever becomes mature enough.

At this point it's probably a safer bet to wait for ReiserFS5 lol
