The modern, open-source file system bcachefs was integrated into the Linux Kernel in 2024, promising users an efficient and reliable storage solution. Nevertheless, its developmental journey has encountered friction with the stringent regulations of the kernel community. Recently, a significant dispute arose between Kent Overstreet, the lead developer of bcachefs, and Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux. The conflict occurred when Overstreet submitted code incorporating new features during the release candidate phase, a violation of the kernel's policy that restricts this phase to bug fixes only. Torvalds expressed his deep dissatisfaction and cautioned that bcachefs could be excluded from the Linux 6.17 kernel release.
