I turned off softdep.

My backups aren't super-current so I don't see restoring from backup as a good idea.

My point was, OpenBSD is behind some other OS's (most?) in the filesystem department. I know, "patches welcome" :) ......

I just had a kernel panic when reloading a firefox tab pointed at facebook. After restarting, all the filesystems had errors but /home was particularly bad and caused the boot to stop and prompt if I wanted to enter a root shell.


I eventually got fsck to mark the /home filesystem clean but it found >4000 lost files that it moved to lost&found. I am not so experienced with this, running "file" on a few of them shows that they may be intact files but they have numeric names now.


I've really been enjoying OpenBSD but I think it could really use a journaled filesystem. I believe I have the correct options in fstab for the best results:

1f08fbc2b303f0ef.k /home ffs rw,softdep,noatime,nodev,nosuid 1 2


I was just thinking how much I was enjoying OpenBSD compared to some others when this happened.


OpenZFS? License issues? Hammer? Anything?
