Filesystem resize is implemented
🕑 Added 2018-01-02 23:41:21 +0000 UTC You can now expand a filesystem on a device - shrink isn't implemented just yet. The command is bcachefs device resize, and it takes the same arguments as resize2fs:bcachefs device resize /dev/sdb 10G
If you don't specify a size, it uses the current size of the device.
Online and offline resize are both supported.

Do you have ideas about snapshot for single file? I want to use it for file protect?

Dunno, the focus is still really on fixing every last bug that can possibly be found. That is the most requested feature though, so it's high on the list.

No, but that'll be considerably easier to add than full filesystem wide snapshots
Does it support snapshot for single file?
Excellent!
Any clue when will RAID 5/6 be completed ?

Frickin' awesome news. bcachefs is getting nearer and nearer to the ideal fs. Of course it still needs to be battle hardened so come on everyone install a test version of it somewhere and start banging on it. Great job Kent!
