		zejn 4 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Bcachefs removed from the mainline kernel Synology does not use vanilla btrfs, they use a modified btrfs that runs over mdraid mirror, which somehow communicates with btrfs layer to supposedly fix errors, when they occur.

Synology are still shipping kernel 5.10 on their latest model. And 4.4 only a few years prior.

I am hoping we will get ZFS from Ubnt NAS via update.
