    OpenZFS on Linux and FreeBSD

  • This is really cool and speaks to the modularity of the Windows file system stack. I love projects that customize Windows (working against its closed-source nature).

    There’s an OpenZFA port to Windows[0]. I wonder if my hopes of having ZFS on Windows (including the boot drive, because I would love to be able to snapshot and rollback) would actually be possible.

  • zfs

    OpenZFS on Linux and FreeBSD

  • The author has refactored their branch with guidance and promoted their draft pr to open this month. https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/14034

  • Single-GPU-Passthrough

  • Single GPU passthrough: https://github.com/joeknock90/Single-GPU-Passthrough

  • format-udf

    Bash script to format a block device (hard drive or Flash drive) in UDF. The output is a drive that can be used for reading/writing across multiple operating system families: Windows, macOS, and Linux. This script should be capable of running in macOS or in Linux.

  • I recall getting UDF cross compatibility required a bit of non-trivial work[0], did this improve recently?
