It's not as battle-tested like ZFS with 15+ years of field usage, but it's good enough for me and other users.

There's a NAS appliance called NASty and it shares publicly usage stats: https://nasty-telemetry.pages.dev/ Those numbers are NASty alone. There are more users on other systems.

You can use NASty as NAS appliance. It's based on NixOS, offers flexibility, atomic upgrades and all bells and whistles of bcachefs.

Without upstreaming it wouldn't get traction it have now. I agree that things could be managed better to keep it in the upstream but without upstraming we would be in deeper woods than we are now and still a lot of more users is needed to get even more traction and make it even more bulletproof with real-world testing.

I'm using my filesystem since Dec 2024 and it's closer to 100TiB than 10TiB now. I once had an issue that was quickly solved by Kent and now it's stable for me.

Yes, I regret all that drama that I've witnessed. But I'm happy it's way past that now. Kernel can be developed in its pace and bcachefs develops in its own pace.
