Linux needs a true answer to ZFS that's not btrfs. Sadly the ship has sailed for btrfs, after 15+ years it's still not something trustable.

Apparently bcachefs won't be the successor. Filesystem development for Linux needs a big shakeup.

ZFS is good enough for 90% of people who need that so no real money is available for anything new.

Maybe a university could do it.

Indeed, and it's inclusion in Ubuntu is fantastic. It's also showing it's age, 20 years now. Tso, where are you when we need you most!?

Or someday a file system will somehow piss off Linus and he’ll write one in a weekend or something ;)

Bcachefs may be headed out of the kernel
