bcachefs \- manage bcachefs filesystems/devices

.SH  SYNOPSIS
.B bcachefs
[\fIoptions\fR]
.B COMMAND
[\fIoptions\fR]

.SH COMMANDS
.TP
.BR format
.RS
Format one or a list of devices with bcachefs data structures. You need to do this before you create a volume.
.RE

.BR register
.RS
Register a list of devices.
.RE

.BR list-cachesets
.RS
List cachesets on this system. This just searches /sys/fs/bcachefs.
.RE

.BR query-devs
.RS
Gives info about the superblock for a list of devices.
.RE

.BR status
.RS
Finds the status of the most up to date superblock in each tier. Pass in a list of devices.
.RE

.BR stats
.RS
List bcache specific statistics. Use --list to find out exactly what these are. To list stats for a cacheset, just give the cacheset uuid. To target a cache within the cacheset, use the -c option. To get time interval stats, use the hour, day, etc, options.
.RE

.BR probe
.RS
Return UUID if device identified as bcache-formatted.
.PP
Only necessary until support for the bcache superblock is included
in blkid; in the meantime, provides just enough functionality for a udev script
to create the /dev/disk/by-uuid symlink.
.RE

.BR help
.RS
List the bcache commands
.RE
