After weeks of little maintenance needed for my #SBo #slackbuilds, suddenly had four releases this week :
- #dracut #dracut-ng 107
- #keychain 2.9.0 & 2.91.1, first releases in 7 years, #danielrobbins back
- #mbuffer 20250429

Hello, long time, here's #OpenZFS 2.3.2!
Support for Linux 6.14, a new receive:append permission to disallow destructive receive, STATX_DIOALIGN to help programs use direct IO effectively, and a ton of bugfixes.
It's a good one!
#OpenZFS 2.3.2 is out now with support for #Linux kernel 6.14 https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/releases/tag/zfs-2.3.2
Various #OpenZFS resources are hosted at @osuosl in Corvallis, Oregon and their funding is threatened.
They host many critical open source projects and we thank them for their excellent service.
Please consider a donation to the #OSUOSL and talk to your organization about supporting their important work.
Ok I CLEARLY don't understand ZFS as well as I like to think I do. The answer is the normally hidden "written" property on the snapshots. So they are effectively using a lot of space after all.
Are there any #zfs #openzfs experts on here who could help me explain what on earth is going on with the disk utilisation of my Minio dataset?
I've got ~40GB of data but the dataset is using ~120GB. I have about a month of snapshots which are at most 50MB each so that doesn't account for it.
Could this be due to blocksize configuration or something?
The recording of the April 23rd, 2025 #OpenZFS Production User Call is up:
We discussed High Availability and Clustering, triage, and more!
We also discussed how you can help with OpenZFS reviews! You do not need a CS degree to check the spelling or say if documentation is clear! In fact it helps to have a fresh perspective!

Thank you!

OpenZFS is great and it comes with awesome features. But for newbies or even users who don’t use all the features every day, it can be sometimes a little bit overwhelming.
The FreeBSD foundation has generously created an OpenZFS cheat cheat covering all the basic stuff that is important in daily use.
Great work and worth sharing!
SDDM, KDE Plasma, root-on-OpenZFS – simple. On Linux.
Yes, I'll install the theme snaps.
Will I install zectl – a ZFS boot environment manager for Linux? Maybe …

#TrueNAS 25.04 Released For Unifying SCALE & CORE Offerings
TrueNAS 25.04 is notable for unifying their #Linux-based #TrueNASSCALE and #TrueNASCORE #FreeBSD-based platforms. While TrueNAS was previously known for its BSD base, Linux has proven viable for this network attached storage platform. TrueNAS 25.04 is powered by the Linux 6.12 LTS kernel while employing the #OpenZFS file-system support.

I would really like to get off of OWC's SoftRAID because they seem to have problems with Apple's OS migrations, and they want an absurd amount of money for the subscription when they don't fix crashing bugs that have been around for years.
I'm considering running OpenZFS in an Ubuntu VM on my M4 Mac mini only because I've heard the macOS version requires a kext, which Apple is trying to kill off, and SIP changes.
Here, have some kernel or whatever
I absofuckinglutely love ZFS and every time I mess with it, I come back delighted. Today I doubled the sizes of my NAS backup pool to 8TB and my storage pool to 32TB. It took less than a minute
