me: aw man, my negligence and bad luck has completely ruined my filesystem. I'll never get that data back

kent overstreet: Holy Shit! Free extreme stress testing! I'll fix it tomorrow as it is literally midnight, goodnight

he considers the fact this happened a DESIGN FLAW. what universe is bcachefs from

I joined the irc under a psuedonym expecting to get laughed out of the room

apparently bcachefs is supposed to never ever corrupt your data, even if you've been grossly negligent

i just ran into a spicy edge case that didn't have an implemented repair yet

people keep misreading this

the promise is being kept, the bug is being fixed tomorrow. i ran into a "no one should ever wind up in this situation" unimplemented edge case

i am very good at winding up in impossible situations

if my data is indeed fine this is going to cement my loyalty to bcachefs until the end of time

every other non-ext4 filesystem I've tried has eventually ended in a "sorry, better luck next time" tragedy, and so I crawl back to the jank safety of ext4

I expected this to be that for bcachefs but instead an arc is occurring

@unascribed I can't stop reading that as bca chefs
