BCacheFS Disabled in openSUSE Kernels 6.17+

2025-09-11

The openSUSE team announced that BCacheFS filesystem will be disabled in kernels 6.17 and later. This is because BCacheFS is externally maintained since version 6.17, and openSUSE will no longer maintain and backport downstream patches. Currently, 6.16 and earlier versions are unaffected. Users should follow BCacheFS upstream advice for installation and usage, or prepare a KMP themselves. BCacheFS will be re-enabled once its maintainer resumes upstream maintenance.
