    The company that’s been funding bcachefs for the past 6 years has, unfortunately, been hit by a business downturn - they’ve been affected by the strikes in the media production industry. As such, I’m now having to look for new funding.

    Hopefully they find a new company to fund the development of bcachefs. Btrfs has major funding from facebook and others, so hopefully there’ll be interest in bcachefs since it has some interesting features over btrfs (namely caching and configurable data placement).
