Bcachefs is a copy-on-write (COW) file system for Linux-based operating systems. Its primary developer, Kent Overstreet, first announced it in 2015, and it was added to the Linux kernel beginning with 6.7.[1][2] It is intended to compete with the modern features of ZFS or Btrfs, and the speed and performance of ext4 or XFS.
