Bcachefs 1.37 lands with Linux 7.0 compatibility, stabilizes erasure coding for data redundancy, improves recovery from unclean shutdowns and devices with bad FUA/flush support, adds new subcommands (subvolume list, list-snapshots, reflink-option-propagate), and moves user-space tooling toward Rust while expanding the PoO documentation.
DAXFS was announced as a new read-only Linux file system that uses the kernel's DAX (direct access) to map contiguous memory or dma-buf without involving the page cache or block I/O, enabling zero-copy reads and potential shared memory across containers and hardware accelerators; development by Multikernel.io aims at multi-kernel setups, CXL memory pooling, and simple, read-only image formats, with upstream integration still under consideration and a GitHub repository available.
