Quoting benh...@gmx.us:
Hi
A client of mine asked me if I can develop a BSD project for them. I
don't have much experience with BSDs, and I have been collecting
some background information.
I was given the choice between OpenBSD and NetBSD.
Now, since portability is not all that important, I was oriented
towards OpenBSD, which is more secure. The only problem might be the
lack of certain features on OpenBSD, such as support for a modern
filesystem. As I said, I don't know much about BSDs, so don't flame
at me if I say something incorrect. In fact, I am asking your advice.
What I would need for my project is a filesystem that supports, at
least, journaling. From what I have seen, NetBSD already has that,
while OpenBSD doesn't.
Has any modern filesystem been ported to OpenBSD? I really need to
know, because this issue may constitute a stumbling block to my
adoption of OpenBSD.
Thanks
Ben J. Rafter
You may want to go through the FAQ. The part of the FAQ at
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq8.html answers your questions very
clearly. For example:
8.21 - Does OpenBSD support any journaling filesystems?
No it doesn't. We use a different mechanism to achieve similar results
called Soft Updates. Please read FAQ 14 - Soft Updates to get more
details.
