wish I could find more information on the BPF JIT. combing tech-net
and CVS commit messages haven't turned up what I'd hoped for.

blacklistd is interesting:

Sort of like sshguard or fail2ban, I guess.

I installed NetBSD 7.0 today and it has been working pretty well.
According to the documentation, ZFS is for x86 only, but the
information appears to be out of date. Anyone know if NetBSD's port
for ARM devices will support ZFS?

Any word on UEFI support?

Why would you use ZFS with ARM? ZFS needs some computing power to run
optimal, I'm not an expert in this at all, but I wouldn't use ZFS on
systems with ARM CPUs.

volunteer.

    10:29 < ryoshu> The ZFS support is partial and not functional at
the moment, it's a place for willing developers to enhance.

That's not true at all. ZFS works fine with ARM and requires virtually
no CPU resources. I run a Pasberry Pi 2 with ZFS and it's been running
for months without any problem, the CPU is (even when copying/moving
files) runs at 5% or less.

Ok, my bad then, sorry about that.

Thanks, hopefully this feature matures for 7.1. Would happily run
NetBSD on my Pi when it gets mature ZFS support.
