        It made me sad they would not change ZFS to a licence with GPL, bcachefs from what i seen will make ZFS end up being BSD Only, ZFS uses a Shim AKA GPL condom does it not?

        I looked at bcachefs it is ZFS like but missing a lot of stuff, bcachefs is like a older BSD ZFS.

          What exactly are you referring to? It seems to me to be pretty competitive with both ZFS and btrfs, in terms of supported features. It also has a lot of unique stuff, like being able to set drives/redundancy level/parity level/cache policy (among other things) per-directory or per-file, which I don’t think any of the other mainstream CoW filesystems can do.

            OpenZFS and Software for it has been adding features like crazy, but it has many full time Dev’s working on it, a lot of stuff for bcachefs is wip work in progress the features are not complete. also it has a lot of wishlist stuff.

            For bcachefs to replace ZFS, it needs 1 to 2 years At least of work with a team of Dev’s.

            Will i use bcachefs to replace ZFS yes when it’s ready.
