    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Bcachefs has long been in development by Kent Overstreet as a new open-source file-system born out of the Linux kernel’s block cache code.

    For about a decade now it’s been in the works as a modern copy-on-write file-system with aims to compete with the likes of Btrfs and ZFS.

    After it was merged I built a fresh Linux Git build with the Bcachefs file-system driver enabled.

    I tried a few different combinations like with different partition setups and other options, but ultimately was stuck with this “numerical out of range” errors each time regardless of what I tried.

    If there is sufficient interest from readers, as follow-up articles may be multi-disk testing and looking at other advanced features of Bcachefs.

    But for today’s article and just getting an idea where this experimental file-system is currently at, it was a single disk and testing defaults for some sane representation.
