This morning I decided to run some tests on bcachefs, which I hadn't tried out until today. Of course, I wouldn't trust it yet with important data. However, a couple of things impressed me: the background compression and the ability to use devices as cache. There's also the option to mix devices of different sizes, and reads will always be performed from the fastest device. If ZFS had these features, it would be wonderful.
