I'm very excited for bcachefs, I've been trying it out on my personal laptop for a while (until I was forced to reinstall).

It was a very pleasant experience and I hope that it gets mainlined in the close future. Linux desperately needs ZFS with better integration and more flexibility.

Why were you forced to reinstall?

Was it due to bcachefs in some way?

Is there anything you felt was still missing back when you were using it?

It wasn't bcachefs' fault (in fact, I'm copying my laptop's install back on a bcachefs partition), it was a accumulative problem where in the end the bcachefs-enabled kernel and various tools decided to go on strike and forced me to go back on a btrfs based partition. (I booted into a post-mount environment and ran rsync)
