    I think it’s not btrfs that’s slow, it’s bcachefs that’s insanely fast. Bcachefs almost as fast as ext4 while having that many features is insane.

      This screenshot is the only metric where btrfs is incredibly slow.

      Bcachefs random and sequential writes and reads are much slower than other filesystems in this benchmark.

      I have no idea how the actual real world performance will be. Bcachefs still misses a lot of features so I’ll continue to follow the development, hopefully including performance improvements.

      Bcachefs sequential write performance in this out-of-the-box comparison was coming in at around half the speed of Btrfs while XFS, F2FS, and EXT4 were the fastest.

      Edit: The benchmarks were done with a debug variable set, which explains the weak IO.
