BCacheFS is marked experimental. My take with that is: As long as it is
marked experimental and you like to test it and give feedback, it is
important to move quickly enough to new kernel versions. It was and partly
still is the same with BTRFS. Developers often asked users to use a newer
kernel. Feedback on BCacheFS on 6.9 is quite likely not very useful to
Kent and other BCacheFS developers while they already work on what to
bring in for 6.13.
Issue is that normal user have no idea that bcachefs is experimental
because it is only told to be experimental IF you are building building
kernel yourself.
- modinfo does not say anything about experimental
- bcachefs user tool does not say anything about experimental. iirc
btrfs user tool warns that you are going to use experimental stuff when
you select raid5
