Suggestion: Bcachefs support

Open A-z-z-y opened this issue 1 year ago • 7 comments

Although it's in a masked kernel version, support for Bcachefs (with ample warnings, of course) would be useful to future-proof for when it becomes a more stable & popular filesystem.

Gentoo itself doesn't have full bcachefs support yet so help will be needed upstream but adding it here.

Hey, i think gentoo now supports bcachefs on kernel 6.7+

For anyone interested in this: You will have to figure out which bcachefs layout you are going to use. If you want to use encrypted root devices, you'll probably have to patch genkernel initramfs or add a dracut module. Finally, you will have to add your own disk layout disk_create_bcachefs in here: https://github.com/oddlama/gentoo-install/blob/039d1a8b3585c067722243cab67bfe5ad4a3b6f3/scripts/functions.sh#L260
