		KenCochrane on Aug 21, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Bcachefs – A general purpose COW filesystem Sounds like a really cool alternative to aufs, would love to see a Docker storage driver added to support this, once stable. https://docs.docker.com/reference/commandline/daemon/#daemon... Any chance this might get added to the mainline kernel? aufs was never able to get merged in. OverlayFS was merged in, but IMHO isn't as good as aufs.

This isn't a union filesystem; it's a primary filesystem that happens to use COW internally for better reliability. It's comparable to ZFS, btrfs, or tux3.
