Subject: Why bcachefs?
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2015 13:29:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150818132921.7ef7db8b@harpe.intellique.com> (raw)

After toying a bit with it, I'm wondering: why bcachefs? I understand
that integrating the filesystem with the cache layer probably makes the
job easier but overall ...  we already have several excellent
filesystems; developing a reliable filesystem is DAMN HARD; building a
feature-complete FS is CRAZY HARD (see btrfs); because FTL sucks anyway
and we'd rather wait for ways to move ahead of it... 

So Kent, please, tell us, why? :)
