Headlines ZFSonFreeBSD ports renamed OpenZFS (https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/openzfs-kmod) The ZFS on FreeBSD project has renamed the userland and kernel ports from zol and zol-kmod to openzfs and openzfs-kmod The new versions from this week are IOCTL compatible with the command line tools in FreeBSD 12.0, so you can use the old userland with the new kernel module (although obviously not the new features) With the renaming it is easier to specify which kernel module you want to load in /boot/loader.conf: > zfs_load=”YES” or > openzfs_load=”YES” To load traditional or the newer version of ZFS The kmod still requires FreeBSD 12-stable or 13-current because it depends on the newer crypto support in the kernel for the ZFS native encryption feature.
