Hello!

I'd like to try to use and test how bcachefs works. I've found page
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/8/21/22 where are described working and
planned features. What changed since mentioned email? Do I see correctly
that web page with documentation is rather outdated?
How can I check bcachefs without using all kernel from
https://evilpiepirate.org/git/linux-bcache.git ? Is it enough to copy
directory drivers/md/bcache to currently used kernel sources and compile
or I've to use kernel from mentioned git repo?
I think you want this branch:

https://evilpiepirate.org/git/linux-bcache.git/log/?h=bcache-dev

It looks like Kent's tree is up to date (4.5.0) so you could use it 
directly.  I wouldn't copy directory trees around to a different kernel 
unless you are ready for some backporting work.  Perhaps bcachefs can be 
backported to earlier stable kernels when Kent is ready to call it stable.  

He was working on endianness compatability last I heard.  It would be neat 
to hear some feedback on its status, maybe benchmarks against btrfs/zfs, 
too.

Thank you for any answer,
