- Format a partition with `bcachefs`:

`sudo bcachefs format {{path/to/partition}}`

- Mount a `bcachefs` filesystem:

`sudo bcachefs mount {{path/to/partition}} {{path/to/mountpoint}}`

- Create a RAID 0 filesystem where an SSD acts as a cache and an HDD acts as a long-term storage:

`sudo bcachefs format --label=ssd.ssd1 {{path/to/ssd/partition}} --label=hdd.hdd1 {{path/to/hdd/partition}} --replicas=1 --foreground_target=ssd --promote_target=ssd --background_target=hdd`

- Mount a multidevice filesystem:

`sudo bcachefs mount {{path/to/partition1}}:{{path/to/partition2}} {{path/to/mountpoint}}`

- Display disk usage:

`bcachefs fs usage --human-readable {{path/to/mountpoint}}`

- Display help:
