Linux about to gain a new file system – bcachefs
A five year old file system built by Kent Overstreet, formerly of Google, is near feature complete with all critical components in place. Bcachefs boasts the performance and reliability of the widespread ext4 and xfs as well as the feature list similar to that of btrfs and zfs. Notable features include checksumming, compression, multiple devices, caching and eventually snapshots and other “nifty” features.

Bcachefs is a new speed-focus Linux filesystem from Kent Overstreet
Bcache was first announced by ex-Google engineer Kent Overstreet a little over five years ago. Now the Linux kernel block layer cache is being used as the basis for a new open source filesystem. The focus is on speed, but it is also hoped that the file system could be used for servers and storage arrays because of its reliability.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

Benchmarks
I saw some benchmarks. It is way faster than Btrfs but still a bit slower than ext4.
One man
I wonder whose interests this new FS serves (Samsung makes its own now). Maybe it's an early iteration that will outpace others. Hans Reiser and Chris Mason show that a single person (with some outside help) can come up with a viable and widely-used FS.
