Of course bcachefs can cache data; that was the main draw of bcache as well.
Quoting an example from https://bcachefs.org/GettingStarted/
bcachefs format /dev/sd[ab]1 \
--foreground_target /dev/sda1 \
--promote_target /dev/sda1 \
--background_target /dev/sdb1
mount -t bcachefs /dev/sda1:/dev/sdb1 /mnt
This will configure the filesystem so that writes will be buffered to /dev/sda1 before being written back to /dev/sdb1 in the background, and that hot data will be promoted to /dev/sda1 for faster access. bcachefs format --help
--promote_target=(target)
Device or label to promote data to on read
