I've been dogfooding bcachefs for a few months, aside from a nixos kernel regression, and LKML drama :-(, it's been good (anecdote +1) I was early on the reiser4 bandwagon back on gentoo, a glutton for data loss is what I am...

I'm excited for RedoxFS time for to have a play!

I thought that bcachefs was pretty much only Kent, what is your role in the project?

Unless you meant rawdogging or another similar sounding word to dogfooding?

heh, it's really not

what was the NixOS kernel regression?

NixOS and Arch are the two distros that are making the DKMS transition the smoothest.

I run nixos unstable, at some point in the last few weeks the kernel supplied with * boot.supportedFilesystems = [ "bcachefs" ]; in my config, went from version 6.16.0 to 6.12.45 and I had very long boot times (30 minutes+) with a lot of messages. My solution was to switch to the latest kernel * boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest; Which bumped me back up to kernel 6.16.8 and smooth sailing.
