Status update - erasure coding
Added 2020-10-24 00:58:18 +0000 UTCErasure coding is ready for wider testing!
I just finished reworking disk space accounting for parity blocks - they're broken out from user data now, so bcachefs fs usage will show you that overhead. And I've been fixing bugs; there shouldn't be any gaping holes, and I don't expect it to catch on fire or eat data at this point. But there will definitely bugs and performance issues to find and fix.
That's the main news, aside from a whole bunch of bug fixing. Xfstests runs are looking cleaner and cleaner, and the bug reports I've been getting are less and less serious - things are looking good!
