“OpenZFS 2.4.3 is out today as the newest stable point release to this open-source ZFS file-system implementation as well as point releases for the OpenZFS 2.3 and 2.2 series too.
One month after OpenZFS 2.4.2, OpenZFS 2.4.3 is now available with additional fixes. On the Linux side the kernel support still extends up through the Linux 7.0 stable kernel even with Linux v7.1 expected for release this coming Sunday. Hopefully another OpenZFS point release will be out shortly thereafter with blessed Linux 7.1 kernel support.
OpenZFS 2.4.3 adds an encryption key check for block cloning in ZVOL, some FreeBSD-specific work like being able to build the kernel module with sanitizers, fixing some double free conditions, fixing a possible panic, some Linux compatibility updates, a number of continuous integration (CI) updates, and various other minor fixes throughout.
Details on the OpenZFS 2.4.3 changes in full and downloads via GitHub.
In addition to the OpenZFS 2.4.3 point release, OpenZFS 2.3.8 and OpenZFS 2.2.10 are available with many of the same bug fixes back-ported to those prior series plus other relevant fixes.”

Unit tests are deterministic tests that complement the ZTS testing infrastructure. They were first implemented by robn in test_zap.c to cover the ZAP API including microzap and fatzap.
My commit introduces a new namecheck validity testing framework for zfs pools, datasets, snapshots etc. It covers the full namecheck.c functions.
To run the test, execute make unit T=namecheck

If a card is in a filtered deck (odid != 0), the post-sync reschedule only updates its odue and the card stays in the filtered deck — but it still updates mod/usn. The end result is that reviews on other devices get overwritten.

Happy to see my ZFS commits get upstream to FreeBSD 🙂

From July 1 StorJ will introduce a minimum 50 dollar per month payment irrespective from storage usage !
As of now I run weekly S3 backups with restic from my TrueNAS to StroJ. I may need to migrate to some other solution e.g. Hetzner ….
