If you’re so convinced you know best, I invite you to start writing your own filesystem. Go for it.
Dude is seriously missing the point here. It’s not about what, it’s about how.
If the dude is so convinced he knows best, I invite him to write and manage his own kernel. Go for it. See how well your users like it when your slapdash execution breaks everything.
That arrogance and ignorance is just on another level.
Speedrunning RiserFS again are we?
I mean the sole developer of the FS’s own actions sinking a meritorious piece of software.
Being an ass is different to being a murderer, but both are poor choices to make.
He’s not a murderer … yet.
the guy’s name was Reiser.
If I’m Linus, i would have removed bcachefs from mainline already. From his reply he never once admit his attitude problem and keep thinking he is right.
This type of people can’t work with others, not today, not in future.
I’m surprised Linus didn’t remove it after the last time
Yah, I think this is just going to end up with it being cut. Thats fine, zfs does ok this way, I’m sure bcachefs will get on fine.
Honestly, I am siding with Linus here. Mainline is not the place for last minute changes without testing. And it seems Kent isn’t going to change his methods, etc. That and the retort was pretty disrespectful.
I have high hopes bcachefs can be something great but… At its current rate it’s going to flame out before reaching its potential.
Super disrespectful! Is he seriously big-timing Linus?
Really, the big-timing of anyone should be a red flag. And I’m sure people are pretty cool who haven’t built filesystems yet. I’ve never met Linus but I really appreciate his gatekeeping.
The guy’s not playing well, like the systemd kids, and it’s totally okay to not have it in mainline.
