Much like other modern filesystems such as ZFS and BTRFS it supports multiple filesystems in a shared storage space, snapshots, copy-on-write and also has encryption built-in as a first class feature including multiple keys and per-file keys.

There are many limitations in the developer beta so this is clearly still very much a work in progress. Getting these file-systems right is traditionally difficult and can take years (see ZFS, BTRFS) so it will be interesting to see how well it does.



It's the transparent compression I'm using btrfs for. Only that, ZFS and NTFS support it, so not much choices for that scenario.
