BcacheFS seems to have been released around ~2019 and it's still alpha?

One thing you don't want to fuck around with is your file system. It's one area of computing where conservatism is paramount.

I think a filesystem is the kind of thing I'd expect to stay in alpha or beta a really long time 😅 I'm not the most technical linux user thought so maybe that is a long time, I dunno

But like Wayland took ages to be usable. I wonder how long btrfs took to get out of unusable early stages...

Edit: I didn't see that the dev had said its production ready.... I don't really buy that lol 😅

The lead developer certainly doesn't. He maintains that it's got several systems in production.

Oh, wow look at that. Last time I checked it was still ~"for testing purposes only, do not use in production".

And that's Linus' doing, mostly. Kent insists it is production ready. I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole, at least for now.

Yep, me neither. I'm looking forward to see how it compares with zfs and btrfs when it is ready, but for now I wouldn't consider it for anything.

It is, a little. There's no information in the text, so if there is any it's in the embedded YouTube video, and I don't watch talking heads when the information could be an article.
