OpenBSD laptops

5.9 is going to be amazing. I've been running current and with the patches from Bitrig's port of Netbsd features, we now have a working dtrace/zfs. No more fsck! 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.

NetBSD 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

Should also be noted that dtrace and zfs can never be actually integrated into OpenBSD due to them refusing to import CDDL licensed code.

Bitrig does not have support for ZFS. Must be something different from Bitrig the poster is talking about.

Last edited 3 years and 9 months ago That sounds authoritative. The CDDL is an anti forking license. It requires spooning.

Which patches from Bitrig are you exactly talking about?

Is there any reason not to run -current?

Why sit around six months out of date? Packages stop getting updated. With current that's not an issue.
