Last I heard (~8 years ago), the RAID-like functionality in btrfs was very unstable and crash-prone. The impression I got was that there was not a lot of interest in fixing this. Then bcachefs came and ... appears to have gone nowhere AFAICT.

The non-RAID part of btrfs appears to be stable. It's the default filesystem on openSUSE and SLES. But I don't think it's ever going to reach feature parity with ZFS.

I heard the developer got sidetracked into writing himself an AI girlfriend. (Not sarcasm)



People love to imagine all sorts of salacious things.


Thank you for Bcachefs. Truly an amazing project.


And to the grandparent post's point, since the split with the kernel there've been two big new feature releases: reconcile, which puts our data and drive management head and shoulders above other filesystems - and erasure coding was just released, 1.37 came out a few days ago.
