I wasn't aware there were actual users needing bs > ps yet. Cool :)
That should be a completely trivial for bcachefs to support, it'll mostly just be a matter of finding or writing the tests.

Seriously? But... NVMe drives! I stopped testing because I only have one spare NVMe and couldn't use it with bcachefs.
If you or others can get it done I'm absolutely starting to use bcachefs the month after. I do need fast storage servers in my home office.
You can do this on ZFS today with `zpool create -o ashift=14 ...`.
Yeah I know, thanks. But ZFS still mostly requires drives with the same sizes. My main NAS is like that but I can't expand it even though I want to, with drives of different sizes I have lying around, and I am not keen on spending for new HDDs right now. So I thought I'll make a secondary NAS with bcachefs and all the spare drives I have.
As for ZFS, I'll be buying some extra drives later this year and will make use of direct_io so I can use another NVMe spare for faster access.
