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?

In this case, some people using it and not having problems is much less interesting than some people that are having problems. As a former user who lost 2 root filesystems to BTRFS, I'm not touching it for a long time.
