Oh, so bcachefs is doing pretty well.

  Except for the fact that the developer has sabotaged the project into being removed from mainline?

    That might be the best thing happened to the project since now development can happen at its own pace without the clicky bait influencers.
    In fact they delivered the erasure coding for parity raid back in march this year.
    The thing is that as soon as you seriously give a chance to Bcachefs you see how good it is. I can only tell you that mixing different device tiers and having a per-file/directory replication setting is a god send specially in these times where storage costs more than gold.

    bcachefs was already working at its own pace prior to being accepted in the kernel. It could have continued doing so for years until it was really "ready".
    Instead it got kicked out because Kent constantly ignored the kernel's contribution rules and is unlikely it will ever be accepted back into the kernel.

    That would be a shame since there is nothing else over there with the same set of features. Disregarding drama, I'm telling you it’s that good.
