# Bcachefs
Bcachefs is an advanced new filesystem for Linux, with an emphasis on
reliability and robustness:
* Copy on write (COW) - like zfs or btrfs
* Good performance - significantly better than existing copy on write filesystems, comparable to ext4/xfs
* Metadata and data checksumming
* Multiple devices, including replication and other types of RAID
* Caching
* Compression
* Encryption
* Snapshots
* Scalable - has been tested to 50+ TB, will eventually scale far higher
* Already working and stable, with a small community of users
## Getting started
Bcachefs is not yet upstream - you'll have to build a kernel to use it.
First, check out the bcache kernel and tools repositories:
git clone https://evilpiepirate.org/git/bcachefs.git
git clone https://evilpiepirate.org/git/bcachefs-tools.git
Build and install as usual - make sure you enable `CONFIG_BCACHE_FS` Then, to
format and mount a single device with the default options, run:
bcachefs format /dev/sda1
mount -t bcachefs /dev/sda1 /mnt
See `bcachefs format --help` for more options.
