<p>Brodie Robertson, Linux YouTuber, has a video about it, probably
worth watching.</p>
<p>It's truly remarkable the ways in which Kent seems to be
self-sabotaging his bcachefs file system, and this latest one is
probably the fatal blow.</p>

<p>It took me a while to get used to Brodie's videos, but I watch /
listen to them fairly frequently now to get news about Linux &
FOSS events; often drama but it can affect important projects, so
I'm okay with low-intensity watching.</p>
