We read FreeBSD’s 3rd quarter status report, OpenZFS 2.0, adding check-hash checks in UFS filesystem, OpenSSL 3.0 /dev/crypto issues on FreeBSD, and more. NOTES This episode of BSDNow is brought to you by Tarsnap (https://www.tarsnap.com/bsdnow) Headlines 3rd Quarter FreeBSD Report (https://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2020-07-2020-09.html) The call for submissions for the 4th Quarter is out (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-quarterly-calls/2020/000007.html) OpenZFS 2.0 (https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/12/openzfs-2-0-release-unifies-linux-bsd-and-adds-tons-of-new-features/) This Monday, ZFS on Linux lead developer Brian Behlendorf published the OpenZFS 2.0.0 release to GitHub. Along with quite a lot of new features, the announcement brings an end to the former distinction between "ZFS on Linux" and ZFS elsewhere (for example, on FreeBSD). This move has been a long time coming—the FreeBSD community laid out its side of the roadmap two years ago—but this is the release that makes it official. News Roundup Revision 367034 (https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/367034) Various new check-hash checks have been added to the UFS filesystem over various major releases. Superblock check hashes were added for the 12 release and cylinder-group and inode check hashes will appear in the 13 release. OpenSSL 3.0 /dev/crypto issues on FreeBSD (https://rubenerd.com/openssl-3-written-to-break-on-freebsd/) So, just learned that the OpenSSL devs decided to break /dev/crypto on FreeBSD. OS108-9.1 XFCE amd64 released (https://forums.os108.org/d/32-os108-91-xfce-amd64-released) OS108 is a fast, open and Secure Desktop Operating System built on top of NetBSD. > Installing OS108 to your hard drive is done by using the sysinst utility, the process is basically the same as installing NetBSD itself.
