Dtrace lacks the pledge(2) probes, but hope that gets fixed soon. Otherwise it's nice to have alternatives to desktop linux. Only miss Spotify. oh well.
- throwaway2048 11y agoNetBSD ZFS has rather severe bugs, was this addressed by bitrig? They have remained unfixed in NetBSD for quite some years now. Known Bugs vnode reclaiming deadlocks vnode fsync bug kmem_cache_alloc/ aka pool_cache_get panics https://wiki.netbsd.org/users/haad/porting_zfs/ https://wiki.netbsd.org/users/haad/porting_zfs/ Should also be noted that dtrace and zfs can never be actually integrated into OpenBSD due to them refusing to import CDDL licensed code.
- freebasedgirl 11y agoLast edited 3 years and 9 months ago That sounds authoritative. The CDDL is an anti forking license. It requires spooning.
- Bluerise 11y agoBitrig does not have support for ZFS. Must be something different from Bitrig the poster is talking about.

- freebasedgirl 11y agoWhy sit around six months out of date? Packages stop getting updated. With current that's not an issue.
- Bluerise 11y agoWhich patches from Bitrig are you exactly talking about?
