FreeBSD publishes status report |
|
The FreeBSD project has published a status report which includes an overview of what the operating system's developers are working on. In particularly there has been a lot of effort put into improving ZFS compression, PF firewall performance, and upstreaming fixes from other organizations. "NetApp has started an effort to upstream bug fixes and other improvements from the ONTAP code line into FreeBSD. These changes benefit the FreeBSD community by providing many fixes that NetApp has made over the past few years, while allowing NetApp to reduce the number of customizations needed when bringing in the latest FreeBSD changes back into the ONTAP tree. NetApp has partnered with Klara to facilitate this project, to help identify interesting and useful changes to send upstream, to rework and generalize those changes as required to make them suitable for upstreaming, and to shepherd them through the FreeBSD code review process. During the fourth quarter, Klara has made 40 upstream fixes in the FreeBSD kernel in various subsystems including geom, dev, amd64, net, kern, netinet, and several other areas of the tree on behalf of NetApp. NetApp intends to continue to sponsor this effort throughout 2021." Further information can be found in the project's Quarterly Status Report. |
