So how did it work out for you? Did bcachefs manage to perform any miracles?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There are 3 movie files that have bad checksums but are still readable for some reason. Literally everything else is fine.
This looks like your disk is failing more than anything. But that said this is very much still in dev, cool that you are testing it out, but dont make people think this is the average linux thing.
no I was making a joke that was apparently not well received here. Aside from rust in the kernel, I didn't think this was one of those sacred-cow communities.
Sarcasm is difficult enough to convey in paragraphs of text, let alone a single sentence title. Also, the Linux communities on Lemmy see the occasional wave of trolls coming in to shout about how"Linux is just as bad as Windows!" You're starting out way behind even before anyone views the video.
Ahh I see. For the record, I like Linux.
Probably better to put it in a Linux meme community.
I mean, it's bcachefs. It's far from production ready.
I get that, but its a cool new toy to play with, and the fsck code is very effective so long as it doesnt run out of memory.
On the up-side, at least you have a chance of fixing it... If that happened on a Windows box, you'd be reaching for the gun / installation media by now
Here's the thing. Bcachefs is still under development, and Kent is really careful with his filesystem. This happens to me every now and then if I havent rebooted in a long time or theres a kernel update with filesystem changes it doesn't like. The trick is to skip the userspace fsck code and pass the -k flag so it uses the kernel fsck code which is much farther along. I've never lost anything on this filesystem and its messed up in lots of bizzare ways.

Sorry I'm new to lemmy, is there a preferred service we use here?
You can just directly upload media on lemmy.
The form field says "upload image" but webm videos work for sure. I have not tried other formats.
The machine spirits have been angered by your actions.
I was just thinking about taking a more recent backup when I ran this update and thought against it. I'm going to have to verify this thing against the old backup somehow tomorrow. :/
Are... are you pronouncing "Arch" as "ark"? I guess it is a weird word, seeing as "architecture" has a hard C, but "look at the arch on that doorway" does not.
I go back and forth. I don’t remember what I said here.
