Here’s the thing. Bcachefs is still under development, and Kent is really careful with his filesystem. This happens to me every now and then if I havent rebooted in a long time or theres a kernel update with filesystem changes it doesn’t like. The trick is to skip the userspace fsck code and pass the -k flag so it uses the kernel fsck code which is much farther along. I’ve never lost anything on this filesystem and its messed up in lots of bizzare ways.
On the up-side, at least you have a chance of fixing it… If that happened on a Windows box, you’d be reaching for the gun / installation media by now
