It would be of lower value to them without the data-gathering and the AI injection.

The data makes them money. The AI helps th justify their investment, but also gives them data to ad to their models.

Not an expert though, but have been watching bcachefs for … what feels like a decade.

It’s marked as experimental, hence the “experimental”

To be more clear, before he got his code mainlined, you needed to run h8s full fork of the kernel, with changes made not just to the cache code itself, but also to other parts.

Not all of his changes went in though; but the differences got sorted out enough that the vast majority of his newer changes were driver only.

That said, he was still ruffling feathers about wanting some fast moving kernel changes.

Definitely not going anywhere near the comments section on that phoronix article. It’s guaranteed to be pure poison.

I agree, on both statements.

It is easily stable enough for experimental use.

Additionally, Kent got most of his kernel changes needed for bcachefs merged already, so a dkms should be easier to manage now.

The6also have better low-temp performance.
