Extend functionality with the bcachefs file system

[Alexandero89]

The short description of the repo states the following:
"Btrfs support plans are shelved unless and until btrfs becomes reliable"

And since Sanoid is a fantastic and reliable tool, I thought we could discuss extending it for Bcachefs instead of btrfs.
Because Bcachefs has been part of the mainline kernel for some time now and could well extend or replace ZFS.
And of course it would be wonderful if Sanoid could handle both filesystems in parallel

bcachefs has been on my list of things to investigate more closely for a while now, but still hasn't quite bubbled up to the top. I know it supports most of the OpenZFS featureset on paper, but the one thing I haven't been able to figure out is, does it support replication?

Do you know?

[Alexandero89]

Good to hear.

No, I don't know about that.
But can do some research on that and come back.

"Replication" is kind of ambiguous, but as of right now, bcachefs has support for RAID, but does not have an equivalent for zfs send. I assume you meant the second and then the answer is "no, not yet".

It's on their list, they just haven't gotten to it yet.
