Linux 7.3-rc4 To Address Two Unfortunate Bugs With Btrfs Written by Michael Larabel in Linux Storage on 19 September 2026 at 08:26 PM EDT. Add A Comment Merged today were this week's set of Btrfs file-system fixes for the Linux 7.3-rc4 kernel, which include two notable bug fixes. First up is a regression introduced back in Linux 7.2-rc1 and present until now due to a change with how the fs_fsid identifier was derived. But this in turn broke backwards compatibility, including for user-space applications, since the f_fsid can change after a kernel update and shift across reboots. For apps that expect a stable ID, this broke programs like applications relying on the FSID to encrypt/decrypt VPN key files.
