I've actually hardly touched that stuff - to the extent that I have I've just been fixing a few random bugs here and there to get the old style bcache functionality closer to working again. > Actually it looks like you've been pretty busy on that branch in general. > > What's new? Oh, random stuff. I've been posting some on patreon lately: https://www.patreon.com/bcachefs (And yes, I do need money if anyone would be willing to chip in). The main user visible thing is compression is finally useful - I finally finished the disk accounting stuff so that enabling compression actually lets you store more data on a fs. Besides that, it's mainly been bug fixing and internal refactoring working towards snapshots. I'm gonna write something up about the plan for snapshots soon.
