Thanks for sharing your experience; bcachefs _is_ sounding interesting, but due to it still being marked as experimental and some on-disk format changes still being planned we did not bother in checking it out closer. Once it stabilizes we definitively will evaluate it though. > With some external assistance, I've managed to build the latest kernel > versions as a pve-kernel package [1], using the vanilla Linus repository > (latest git tag) with the latest bcachefs patches, and OpenZFS sources > directly from the upstream repository. > This setup means that the compatibility with OpenZFS 2.2.7 dictates the > pace at which I can compile new kernels. > Proxmox uses ZFS 2.2.7 in its kernel, which necessitates backporting > patches from the 2.3 branch [2]. > > My question is: To simplify my kernel flavor, which is focused on bcachefs, > can I migrate to the ZFS 2.3 branch, or does PVE rely on 2.2.7, making 2.3 > potentially problematic? FWIW, you could also stop compiling ZFS completely if you do not use it anyway, then you won't be limited by it's compatibility with upstream Linux. _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@lists.proxmox.com https://lists.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
