Hello Linus, sorry to disturb you. I'm just a simple sysadmin. I saw in the news that you marked bcachefs as "externally maintained". But I don't find what does it mean. Does it mean.. - it's still there but for new features u need dkms? - your need to compile/patch it on your own? - every odd/even kernel version you just copy/merge fs/bcachefs into the kernel-tree? - at the moment I dont know - see what the future says Thanks for clarification. best regards Stefan
