Using bcachefs on the Hurd

[jbranso]

Hey Kent and Dave!

Kent, congrats on getting bcachefs into Linux-next! That's pretty awesome. I think you have bcachefs working via FUSE right? Does it work well on FUSE?

Dave I am emailing you as well, because Kent seems to think that you are a seriously good filesystem developer yourself. Is it ok if I pick your brain a little bit too?

It seems to me that Kent and Dave are probably on the leading edge for filesystem implementation/research and sheer determination! Do you think we could use bcachefs (or XFS) on the Hurd (we have a somewhat working FUSE implementation)? What sort of advice would you give the Hurd people for improving our current filesystem (The hurd uses ext2).

Also, I know that Kent really likes rust. Would you recommend new filesystems to use rust? We actually just got rust ported to the Hurd! woot!


Thanks,
