Linux needs a true answer to ZFS that's not btrfs. Sadly the ship has sailed for btrfs, after 15+ years it's still not something trustable.

Apparently bcachefs won't be the successor. Filesystem development for Linux needs a big shakeup.

If btrfs implemented encryption, I'd consider it a suitable replacement for 90% of cases.

People who need encryption mostly want full-disk encryption, so why not an encrypted volume with btrfs on top?

btrfs does volumes, it should also do volume encryption, why have an unnecessary layer inbetween?

Bcachefs may be headed out of the kernel
