Has anyone here tried bcachefs ( http://bcachefs.org/ ) for some of the same use cases as btrfs? What do people think of its current state?
However, HN has a previous thread on it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12410798
Deprecated? In favour of what? Will Redhat too (like Ubuntu) start shipping ZFS?
> Red Hat will continue to invest in future technologies to address the use cases of our customers, specifically those related to snapshots, compression, NVRAM, and ease of use.
but it's unclear what this means exactly.

You'd need to read up on it but the TL;DR i got from previous comments was that previously it was being funded by a company that wasn't 100% aware of the entire situation around it (they used it in their commercial product, management didn't fully understand it was being released as open source, though I also understand they didn't own the rights to the entire code base so basically that was necessary effectively).

I'm guessing that the ZFS licensing hairball is a bridge too far for even Red Hat, so they'll cobble together equivalent-ish functionality - even if it's not anywhere near as elegant as ZFS's integral data production and reduction.

I supposed their upgrade path is... * Make fresh backups * Verify the backups * Re-install and use the backups
It's OT but how many people actually use RHEL? Or CentOS (more likely). I'm not a fan of systemd, but have really loathed CentOS/RHEL compared to Debian/* for years.
Hopefully a lot because, like it or not, RHEL puts a ton of work into the linux kernel and other userland linux tools. We need them to stick around.

If I'd left out my preference, probably would have had fewer downvotes.
