      Database performance on btrfs is miserable compared to zfs, whereas bcachefs was doing much better.

      I say was because… see the other comment in the thread. :/

        You technically can but the btrfs implementation is problematic. It has gotten better but it isn’t remotely production ready.

        It does support raid1, raid10 and raid1c2/3. The reason I like btrfs is that it is baked into the Linux kernel so I can manage it with the file system utilities. It also runs well on cheap mismatched hardware it I don’t need to spend a fortune on storage.

          Problem is, i seek good alternative for zfs for raid 5/6 filesystems on linux, so far i didn’t found any FS better than zfs for that purpose

            For better or for worse ZFS does what it does really well. Right now we don’t have much in the way options.
