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?

I tried it as a FS for a data volume (200GB) on Linux a year ago, after reading how stable it is "now". The first hard crash made it unrecoverable no matter what I have tried. Never again.
