State of bcachefs on Raspberry Pi

Postby mb720 » Mon Sep 16, 2024 9:23 pm

Hi and thanks a lot for Arch Linux ARM!

I'm wondering if bcachefs is ready to use on a Raspberry Pi 4 model B.

I'm running kernel 6.6.50-1-rpi at the moment and have installed the package "extra/bcachefs-tools 3:1.11.0-1" where "bcachefs version" gives 1.9.5.

When doing "sudo bcachefs format /dev/sdb" I got an error though:

starting version 1.11: disk_accounting_inum
initializing new filesystem
going read-write
initializing freespace
*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated
Aborted

With "lsblk -o fstype" I can see that the formatted drive has the filesystem type bcachefs but after that error I'm not sure whether formatting really worked.

Since the Raspberry Pi kernel seems to avoid version 6.7, which includes bcachefs support in x86-64 Linux, I assume there's no support yet for bcachefs in kernel 6.6.50-1-rpi.
