Yes. I'm currently running an ~100TB bcachefs pool consisting of 90tb SAS spinning rust and 24tb SATA SSDs.

Any use case between 'wanting a decent CoW file system on a single disk / partition' to 'combining two disks in a desktop better than btrfs in a way that will be mainlined' and frankly anything short of true multi-tiered mass storage is where this is going to be most useful.

It's incredibly promising - better than btrfs with no CoW write hole and actually able to be mainlined unlike zfs. It's also possible to easily resize, unlike a running zfs system.

Seriously, exciting stuff all around.
