</li><li><a href="https://bcachefs.org/ErasureCoding/">bcachefs Erasure coding</a> — Bcachefs takes advantage of the fact that it is already a copy-on-write filesystem. If we're designing our filesystem to avoid update-in-place, why would we do update-in-place in our RAID implementation?</li><li><a href="https://bcachefs.org/Caching/">bcachefs Caching</a> — bcachefs can be configured for writethrough, writeback, and writearound caching, as well as other more specialized setups.


</li><li><a href="https://bcachefs.org/Compression/">bachefs Compression</a> — Unlike other filesystems that typically do compression at the block level, bcachefs does compression at the extent level - variable size chunks, up to (by default) 128k.</li><li><a href="https://bcachefs.org/Encryption/">bcachefs Encryption</a> — bcachefs uses AEAD style encryption (ChaCha20/Poly1305), where each encrypted block is authenticated with a MAC, with a chain of trust up to root (the superblock), and every encrypted block has a unique nonce.
