> if one wants to stick with the official kernel without out-of-tree modules

I wonder how could a requirement like that possibly arise. Especially with an obvious exception for zfs.

Bcachefs also fulfills the requirement of checksums (and multi device support).

Also out of tree.

Isn't bcachefs even younger and less polished than btrfs? It does show more promise as btrfs seems to have fundamental design issues... but still I wouldn't use that for my important data.

I don't disagree. Gotta backups for important data either way too!

Just talking about filesystems with checksumming (and multidevice). Any new filesystem to support these features is going to be newer.

I've had both btrfs and bcachefs multidevice filesystems lock up read-only on me. So no real data loss, just a pain to get the data into a new file system, the time it was an 8 drive array on btrfs.

Does it not also eat data though?
