Hello,
Anyone tested/ deployed bcachefs on gentoo yet?


Phorononix already ran some benchmarks on it. As to be expected,  
there's of course much work left to do.

My sense is that it could be a while before this becomes usable.

important thing, but it is a big milestone).

But, I'm all for having more options.  It just seems like there is a
lot of hype - people talk about it like it is done.

I'm not sure at the data model level how it compares to ZFS/btrfs, and
what advantages/disadvantages it might have.  Obviously it supports
bcache, which is something.  I'd really like to see something like
that become possible with btrfs (without implementing it as a separate
layer underneath).
