As far as im aware there are 2 concerns about ZFS, 1) its license is not BSD /ISC you can use it and make money and not be sued, but it is more restrictive than BSD / ISC 2) then there is the Number of Lines of code, which I believe is far longer than the OpenBSD code base, who and what team would manage the introduction of that code and the risks that come with that large a code base. > - FreeBSD has UFS2, DragonFlyBSD has HAMMER… Could we borrow their code? > - If we could clean-room implement a BSD-licensed as a user I would say sweet... but someone more knowledgable / involved in the project would need to see a diff before a determination can be made. > EXT3/EXT4/BTRFS/XFS/JFS/whatever, following style(8), would there be > interest in supporting that in OpenBSD? what is the story with the license? if the license is not ISC / BSD I dont think it would be in base.. as a user I would say more filessytems sweet... but someone more knowledgeable / involved in the project would need to see a diff before a determination can be made. > - Or do we implement yet another file system? (Seems like too much work > for not much gain IMO.) as an OpenBSD user I would say that the performance of Network is dependent on your hardware. / the specific hardware Driver compatibility /capability in OpenBSD, I have had a different performance experience depending on the hardware I was using, and the maturity of the Driver support for that hardware. I have found the em(4) supported nics are pretty good ix(4) has solid performance vmx(4) have been good but it is dependent on the Vmware version you are using , and then others like vio(4) interfaces I have not had as good a performance. but that is more due to the age of the drivers and their capability vs what newer virtio drivers can do. But as a number of members of the OpenBSD Project have said to me Diffs are welcome ... Good Diffs will be considered.... just bear in mind the the License Requirements and Coding Style KNF when submitting a diff and do it off current... > > Regards, > -- > Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) > > I haven't lost my mind... > ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere. > -- Kindest regards, Tom Smyth.
