Bcachefs is a posix filesystem that I've been working towards for -
well, quite
awhile now: it's intended as a competitor/replacement for
ext4/xfs/btrfs.
Current features
- multiple devices
- replication
- tiering
- data checksumming and compression (zlib only; also the code doesn't
work with
tiering yet)
- most of the normal posix fs features (no fallocate or quotas yet)
Planned features:
- snapshots!
- erasure coding
- more
There will be a longer announcement on LKML/linux-fs in the near future
(after
I'm finished moving) - but I'd like to get it a bit more testing from a
wider
audience first, if possible.
Hi Kent,
one quick question about the roadmap at this point: As far as I
understand bcachefs basically integrates bcache features directly in the
filesystem. So does this deprecate bcache itself in your opinion? Bcache
is obviously still useful for other FS, but I just want to know how
things will get maintained in the future.
I wanted to suggest / possibly start implementing bcache support for the
debian installer - obviously that only makes sense if I can expect it to
be in the mainline kernel for the foreseeable future :-).
Thanks,
~David
