There’s been some Friday night kernel drama on the Linux kernel mailing list… Linus Torvalds has expressed regrets for merging the Bcachefs file-system and an ensuing back-and-forth between the file-system maintainer.

    I also couldn’t use ext4 for my USB stick and expect it to just work as a USB stick.

    Why not? It can be adapted to a smaller drive size fairly easily during filesystem creation.

      True, but for me and many others USBs are also just massively portable. Since macOS, Windows and many others (phones, consoles, smart TVs…) don’t speak ext4 but do all speak exFAT, that makes exFAT the way to go on USB drives.
