Benchmark of Bcachefs vs. Btrfs vs. EXT4 vs. F2FS vs. XFS on Linux 6.11
A Phoronix benchmark compared Bcachefs with Btrfs, EXT4, F2FS, and XFS on AMD EPYC servers, showing Bcachefs's improved stability and reliable performance across all tested file systems.

A recent benchmark conducted by Phoronix compared the performance of Bcachefs against other Linux file systems, including Btrfs, EXT4, F2FS, and XFS, using the Linux 6.11-rc2 kernel. The tests were performed on an AMD EPYC 8534P server equipped with Solidigm D7-PS1010 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs, which are known for their high-speed performance. Each file system was freshly formatted and mounted with default options. The results indicated that Bcachefs has stabilized significantly in recent kernel releases, operating without errors during the tests. The other file systems also performed reliably, with no notable issues. OpenZFS was excluded from this round of testing due to its lack of support for the Linux 6.11 and 6.10 kernels in released form. This benchmarking effort was prompted by requests from Phoronix readers for updated performance comparisons among these file systems.
- Bcachefs showed improved stability in recent kernel versions.
- The benchmark included Btrfs, EXT4, F2FS, and XFS alongside Bcachefs.
- Testing was conducted on high-performance Solidigm PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs.
- OpenZFS was not included due to compatibility issues with the tested kernel.
- All file systems operated without significant errors during the tests.

Linux 6.10 Released
The Linux 6.10 release by Linus Torvalds featured increased activity in filesystems, driver updates, and miscellaneous changes. No extra release candidates were needed. Version 6.11's merge window will open soon, coinciding with Europe's summer vacation. Various subsystems received fixes and improvements, including ARM64, USB, networking, SPI, MMC, USB, ALSA, and more. The bcachefs filesystem underwent corrections and optimizations.
Bcachefs for Linux 6.11 Lands Accounting Rewrite and Self-Healing on Read Error
The Bcachefs update for Linux 6.11 introduces disk accounting code rewrite, self-healing for read and checksum errors, and stripe sectors accounting. Kent Overstreet leads these enhancements for improved file-system performance and reliability.
Bcachefs, an Introduction/Exploration
Bcachefs is a next-generation copy-on-write filesystem offering features like checksums, multi-device support, and RAID. It aims to improve performance and stability compared to existing filesystems like ext4 and Btrfs.
