openSUSE Disables BCacheFS Filesystem in Kernel 6.17+ Due to External Maintenance Status
By
6581
A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
openSUSE is disabling the BCacheFS filesystem in their Linux kernel versions 6.17 and later because it has become "externally maintained" rather than being part of the main kernel development. This decision affects openSUSE users who rely on this filesystem functionality.
Key quotes
· 2 pulledGiven BCacheFS is "externally maintained" since 6.17 [1], we are disabling the filesystem in 6.17 too [2].
Therefore, everyone should be aware of this change in the upcoming kernel releases.
