I'm curious, how does it perform against ZFS and Btrfs (and probably a non-COW filesystem, like EXT4)? Are there any preliminary benchmarks available?

Does it support RAID and subvolumes like Btrfs? How is the stability?

It's been years and it's one dude that's doing it iirc.

He spent years just to write the doc and spec. And the post just said the preliminary code will be in September so that's probably a no.

Even with the september code being posted, preliminary isn't going to mean much because it most likely have very little features compare to ZFS and Btrfs. You probably have to wait longer for a fair comparison...

IIRC it's a one man team and the dude is a unicorn.
