> If 1% of the users report a given issue (say, data corruption

If 0.1% of users say it corrupted for them, and then don't provide any further details and no one can replicate their scenario then it does make it hard to resolve it

the btrfs devs are also famous for being unresponsive to these sorts of issues.

there's a feedback effect: if users know that a filesystem takes these kinds of issues seriously and will drop what they're doing and jump on them, a lot of users will very happily spend the time reporting bugs and working with devs to get it resolved.

people don't like wasting their time on bug reports that go into the void. they do like contributing their time when they know it's going to get their issue fixed and make things better for everyone.

this is why I regularly tell people "FEED ME YOUR BUG REPORTS! I WANT THEM ALL!"

it's just what you have to do if you want your code to be truly bulletproof.

		> the btrfs devs are also famous for being unresponsive to these sorts No, Kent, they are not. Posting attacks like this without evidence is cowardly and dishonest. I'm not going to tolerate these screeds from you about people I've worked with and respect without calling you out. Every time you spew this toxicity, a chunk of bcachefs users reformat and walk away. Very soon, you'll have none left.
