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.

several people i know are using btrfs without problems for years now. i use it on half a dozen devices. what's your evidence that it is not trustable?

Many reports of data loss or even complete filesystem loss, often in very straightforward scenarios.
