    it sucks that bcachefs cannot be run as a dkms as it cannot be run as a module (only built-in)

        All the advantages of btrfs + the ability to combine SSDs and HDDs in a way that maximizes speed and space.

            It has RAID modes and it intelligently rearranges data s.t. commonly used files are stored in a fast drive and fetched from there, whereas BTRFS will write to and read from a “random” drive regardless of its speed.

            The previous solution of using btrfs raid1 + bcache (not the FS) separately was very wasteful because the cache had to store both/all copies of the data since btrfs picks a random drive to read from.

              Does it provide any advantages for home users? I can see how this could be useful in enterprise settings, but does it benefit regular desktop users?
