I don't think that's quite right. OpenZFS is a thing that is consumed (and pushed forward) by both FreeBSD and Linux; FreeBSD isn't following Linux, they just both use the same thing. (Which is why it isn't named ZoL anymore; it isn't supposed to be Linux-centric)
>brings together developers from the Linux, FreeBSD, illumos, MacOS, and Windows platforms. OpenZFS is supported by a wide range of companies.
But if you work with Illumos or *BSD's for a extended time, Linux feels dirty and bloated..just not right anymore, if you like linux good...i am happy for you but i try to avoid linux if i can (obviously not always the case...OracleDB, DB2, k8s and so on).
>ZFS case though where they were the pioneers
No that was OpenSolaris...and i am still sad about it.
But Jails? I would say that was a real pioneering, whereas Solaris came a bit later with Zones and then a decade later Linux, you probably call that containers "a pure linux invention" today ;)
Containers are a pure Linux invention: BSD jails/Solaris zones are a different creature to Linux namespaces and cgroups - the lack of isolation is what enables composibility of containers
>the lack of isolation is what enables composibility of containers
Oh really? So containers are not isolated to each other...that's some news...bad ones ;)
BTW are you from a marketing department? ....composibility....stop with that stinking shit please.
Containers are considerably more than virtualization[1], which is why jails/zones/kvm never took off, but Docker did.
> Oh really? So containers are not isolated to each other...that's some news...bad ones
Indeed, containers make for very poor security boundaries. But there are upsides to sharing the same kernel.
> composibility....stop with that stinking shit please.
Are you unfamiliar with "composition" as a software design/architecture term? One can create and bundle (Docker) containers that work together and have a shared network interface in a way that jails can't. As an example, a reverse proxy + service backend + db working in concert.
1. Disk storage format, standardized packaging descriptor, repository.
Then giving a example that is a piece of cake for jails/zones...even in a concert.
Please educate yourself about zones, brandedzones and lxzones (for the solaris/illumos) or jails (for the bsd side) it's really interesting i can tell you, and additionally you don't sound like marketing blabla after that.
NetBSD has linux emulation, it is just OpenBSD that ignores Linux.
What is the point of this statement? OpenBSD devs are focused on OpenBSD. Importing Linux is not their goal. That is their choice. If you don't like it, then don't use it. People are allowed to do as they please.
Edit: If you need Linux use Linux. Stop demanding other OS's bloat their code base so you can run foreign code.
So Wine is bad for Linux? Just asking....
This is something other BSD systems don't get. OpenBSD developers pretend Linux doesn't even exist, while FreeBSD is doing a great job catching up with Linux and doing all the Linux stuff so you can Linuxy Linux your Linux stuff in your Linux FreeBSD Linux. Linux.
