I will probably give bcachefs on one of my machines.

I started using btrfs back when it was way less stable, but that instability was more than offset by the other features.

The last time I lost a btrfs filesystem was four years ago when it was less stable, but it did not matter because it only amounted to about an hour of logs lost, and I reconstructed it in minutes. So btrfs is a must on any embedded devices. It frees me to use cheaper media, because I can have two copies of all data and metadata, and compression, and fine grained external snapshots.

Zfs is great for making big complex arrays and if you plan out how your are storing your data ahead of time. But it has a steeper learning curve and is more seperate from the underlying OS.

Btrfs fills this perfect niche for me of being a drop in replacement for ext4, and being really flexible and offering some of the nicer features of zfs. (differential snapshots, checksumming, compression)

So I'm excited to try bachefs as an alternative to btrfs.
