Nekoliko skorasnjih vesti koje su se dogodile u BSD svetu:

Status FreeNAS projekta

Nakon iznenadjujuce odluke da FreeNAS predje na Linux (Debian) kernel i promeni ime u CoreNAS, pa sve do isto tako iznenadjujuce odluke iXsystems da "preuzmu"dalji razvoj FreeNAS projekta (pod FreeBSD kernelom naravno), napokon se izgleda nazire sta ce od svega toga ispasti:

poruka FreeNAS developera sa foruma ::
FreeNAS needs some big modification for removing its present limitation (one of the biggest is the non support of easly users add-ons).
We think that a full-rewriting of the FreeNAS base is needed. From this idea, we will take 2 differents paths:

- Volker will create a new project called "'OpenMediaVault" based on a GNU/Linux using all its experience acquired with all its nights and week-ends spent to improve FreeNAS during the last 2 years. He still continue to work on FreeNAS (and try to share its time with this 2 projects).

- And, a great surprise: iXsystems, a company specialized in professional FreeBSD offers to take FreeNAS under their wings as an open source community driven project. This mean that they will involve their professionals FreeBSD developers to FreeNAS! Their manpower will permit to do a full-rewriting of FreeNAS.
Personally, I come back to actively work in FreeNAS and begin to upgrade it to FreeBSD 8.0 (that is "production ready" for ZFS).

Olivier

NetBSD LVM podrska

Podrska za LVM u NetBSD-u je odavno ubacena u -current granu, ali je podrazumevano bila ugasena. To je od nedavno promenjeno, tako da je MKLVM varijabla sada podrazumevano ukljucena i LVM ce biti ukljucen prilikom build-a sistema. Azurirani su i LVM alati, na najsveziju verziju 2.02.56.

Novosti u vezi NVIDIA grafickih drajvera za FreeBSD

Citat:
The NVIDIA Corporation releases an initial BETA version of NVIDIA 195.22 FreeBSD graphics drivers for both i386 and amd64

HAMMER verzije 4 je sada default na DragonFly BSD

Citat:
Matthew Dillon has made version 4 of Hammer the default; the upgrade is a relatively painless ‘hammer upgrade’ command. This new version cuts out a chunk of the disk syncs needed, speeding up Hammer disk operations.
