Devs, Not sure if SUSE has any interest in bcachefs following the massive commitment of resources to BTRFS, but it seems bcachefs needs additional resources to get over the finish line. I have no burning desire for a new FS, ext4 is just fine, but it does look interesting. I don't know if this is something the powers-that-be want to look at? It looks like it will not make the 6.5 kernel, but that is largely due to merge request issues/dependencies and it seems quite lacking on development resources. Relevant part of LKML thread https://lkml.org/lkml/2023/7/6/865 Not sure if the FS folks here have any interest in bcachefs, but it was interesting enough to pass on and see. I hadn't seen bcachefs before the dust-up on LKML, but having watched BTRFS mature with SUSE's help, this may provide another unique opportunity to steer the development of a new FS if it provides any significant benefit over BTRFS. -- David C.
