Is there anything others > like myself can do to help? Close to 90% of the sources files in openzfs are shared between Linux and FreeBSD. So the features will, give or take a line item, be the same. For non developers the main thing they can do to help out is to run it in their own environments to identify any changes in behavior or regressions. If you=E2=80=99re doing 1500 installs it=E2=80=99s in your best interest to ma= ke this as smooth a transition as possible. However, it=E2=80=99s not something you=E2= =80=99re going to face until you move to 13. The openzfs port is available to those who want to run it on 12. -M > > > Thanks again, Matthew. > > --Chris > > > > -M > > > > > > > >
