While there’s no official end-of-life date, Databricks discourages using mounts and root storage.&nbsp;Existing setups will still work, but it's best to migrate to avoid future issues.</P> Thu, 27 Feb 2025 10:26:42 GMT https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-governance/deprecation-of-dbfs/m-p/111363#M2426 Advika_ 2025-02-27T10:26:42Z
