      Oracle funding doesn’t sound like a good thing at all since they’re basically CIA cloud ran by one of the most influential Zionists. But an unstable filesystem sounds even worse.

      “Major stability problems”. Hilarious. Get one person that actually uses bcachefs to confirm that. Good luck.

      Kent has stability problems and drives me crazy but that is a baseless hit piece. Bcachefs is a solid fs.

      Linus has not pushed back on the quality of bcachefs other than to say it is too unproven to rely on (too new). What Linus objected to was the process violations and the attitude of the lead developer.

      Given how much Linus and the other LKML devs wanted to get rid of Kent, the fact that it took so long to dump him tells us that they really wanted to keep bcachefs (the technology).

      There may have been more data loss bugs in btrfs and even OpenZFS than bcachefs since it was added to the kernel. I have many bcachefs systems. I have one btrfs system. Guess which one has caused me problems.
