Bcachefs – A New COW Filesystem
- marbu 3y agoThis is an email to linux kernel mailing list where Kent Overstreet asks for a review and inclusion of bcachefs filesystem.
- frankjr 3y agoFrom https://bcachefs.org https://bcachefs.org: Bcachefs is an advanced new filesystem for Linux, with an emphasis on reliability and robustness and the complete set of features one would expect from a modern filesystem. - Copy on write (COW) - like zfs or btrfs - Full data and metadata checksumming - Multiple devices - Replication - Erasure coding (only feature not quite stable) - Caching - Compression - Encryption - Snapshots - Scalable - has been tested to 50+ TB, will eventually scale far higher - Already working and stable, with a small community of users
- klooney 3y agoIt's a continuation of bcache, https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/bcache.html https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/bcache.html , which is always interesting to me.
