There's a lot of file-system activity going on for the Linux 6.10 merge window: Bcachefs safety improvements , better OCFS2 write performance , continued XFS online repair , and even a "mail-in merge request" from prison for ReiserFS . The Flash-Friendly File-System (F2FS) has also seen some new feature work this cycle and has now been merged.

F2FS for Linux 6.10 has performance work for zoned storage around direct I/O and write hints. The Flash-Friendly File-System now allows direct I/O of pinned files for zoned storage and assigning the write hint per-stream by default.

F2FS has also converted more code to making use of folios, bug fixes for the compression code path, error handling updates, and other clean-ups and fixes.
