    Bcachefs

    isaac-pog

    It is getting close to time for me to retire my current computer. The CPU and chipset is >10 years old at this point, I am at the RAM limit, and it is the best CPU available for the chipset and socket of my motherboard. On my current system, I use Btrfs on top of a cached LVM logical volume which uses 1TB of NVMe SSD storage to provide writethrough caching for a 6TB hard disk drive. It is a rather convoluted setup, but it is a nice compromise between having limited fast storage and tons of slow storage, and saves me from juggling files back and forth between different filesystems for performance reasons. I might just opt for bcachefs instead when I put the new machine together.
