He must feel pretty great to finally see this happen!</text></comment>

Didn&amp;#x27;t run into any issues with a few disks and a few hundred GB of data.&lt;p&gt;Some very interesting properties, including (actually efficient) snapshots, spreading data over multiple disks, using a fast SSD as a cache layer for HDDs, built-in encryption (not audited yet though!), automatic deduplication, compression, ...&lt;p&gt;A lot of that is already available through other file systems (btfs, zfs) and&amp;#x2F;or by layering different solutions (LVM, dm-crypt, ...) , but getting all of it out of the box with a single FS that&amp;#x27;s in the mainline kernel is quite appealing.</text></comment>
