>osv looks like FreeBSD with some machinery around it to package single applications and run them on boot

Just because ZFS? Because everything else is not from BSD's, it's a unikernel made to run on a hypervisor made to run linux-bin's, i really don't see a difference....or any plus to use nanos.

I was just looking at the source, there are big hunks of freebsd kernel in there, but I don't know the real functional decomposition.

didn't suggest that nanos was better - if it does indeed use big hunks of freebsd code, that's had considerably more cooking time than nanos.

OSv describes the project as BSD code with a Linux compatibility layer.

ZFS is optional.

Show me that.

There is one little bsd folder that's it:

https://github.com/cloudius-systems/osv/tree/master/bsd

Absolutely nothing written about BSD:
