It's orphaned in Debian as well, but I'm not sure what significant advantages it has over btrfs, which is very stable these days.

There is no 'modern' ZFS-like fs in Linux nowadays.

btrfs was unusable in multi disk setup for kernels 6.1 and older. Didn't try since then. How's stable btrs today in such setups? Also see https://www.phoronix.com/news/Josef-Bacik-Leaves-Meta
It's important to note that striping and mirroring works just fine. It's only the 5/6 modes that are unstable: https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/Status.html#block-gro...
Damn. I was enjoying not having to deal with the fun of ZFS and DKMS, but it seems like now bcachefs will be in the same boat, either dealing with DKMS and occasional breakage or sticking with the kernel version that slowly gets more and more out of date.
Your distro could very easily include bcachefs if it wishes? Although I think the ZFS + Linux situation is mostly Linux religiosity gone wild, that very particular problem doesn't exist re: bcachefs?
The problem with bcachefs is the problem with btrfs. It mostly still doesn't work to solve the problems ZFS already solves.

It's sort of frustrating that this constantly comes up. It's true that btrfs does have issues with RAID-5 and RAID-6 configurations, but this is frequently used (not necessarily by you) as some kind of gotcha as to why you shouldn't use it at all. That's insane. I promise that disk spanning issues won't affect your use of it on your tiny ThinkPad SSD. It's important to note that striping and mirroring works just fine…
Ad hominem. My thinkpad ssd is massive.

How can this be a stable filesystem if parity is unstable and risks data loss?
How has this been allowed to happen?
It just seems so profoundly unserious to me.
