Kernel upstreaming
editIt's worth noting that Kent (the author of Bcachefs) has only said it might be ready in 2022. In a comment he's said he's in no rush to upstream it (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30934531 ).
In 2022-12-11 14:15:18 -0800, Bcachefs was integrated into the Linux kernel integrated 6.1.

- I removed this change from the article due to lack of an appropriate citation.
- Please read through the rules about use of primary sources. Particularly:
- "Do not analyze, evaluate, interpret, or synthesize material found in a primary source yourself; instead, refer to reliable secondary sources that do so."
- A git project page shows that work is being done on Linux kernel integration. Certainly it is evidence of collaboration between Kent and Linus. However, it is not proof of bcachefs having been upstreamed and released with the Linux kernel as your update to the article implied.
- Presently, there are no published articles whatsoever which support the claim that the Linux 6.1 kernel release includes bcachefs. This would be an enormous and newsworthy milestone. Yet Phoronix, which has covered bcachefs extensively over the years, as recently as October 2022, has made no mention of this in their article about Linux 6.1 kernel features. Even the developer, Kent Overstreet, doesn't mention this on his own Patreon page (though even if he did that would be a primary source, so still not good enough).
- It appears that this feature is still in development and has not been fully integrated or released yet. 185.212.5.236 (talk) 16:22, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- Can confirm that the linked git page does not show upstream status. A recent Phoronix page https://www.phoronix.com/news/Bcachefs-For-Review-Linux only mentions a new round of submission. Artoria2e5 🌉 19:48, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Debian Orphaning
editThe paragraph under Stability on the bcachefs-tools package being orphaned in Debian seems almost deliberately misleading. Looking at the sources, the direct reason for the orphaning was that managing Rust dependencies is very difficult for a distribution like Debian, and neither of the sources have any mention about the stability of the filesystem itself.
In general I feel like this section conflates 'stability' and 'reliability' of the filesystem, and may not even be appropriate in the article as it stands as the linked sources mostly concern conflicts between the developer(s) and distributions. Is remarking that bcachefs is still in active development not sufficient/more appropriate? 134.184.43.102 (talk) 13:40, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
Stability
editBcachefs is still market as experimentel: Whether bcachefs is still marked as experimental in a particular kernel version can be checked on the Internet using the following pattern:
- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/fs/bcachefs/Kconfig?h=v6.7
- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/fs/bcachefs/Kconfig?h=v6.8
- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/fs/bcachefs/Kconfig?h=v6.9
- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/fs/bcachefs/Kconfig?h=v6.10
- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/fs/bcachefs/Kconfig?h=v6.11
