From: Bob Beck <beck () cvs ! openbsd ! org> Date: 2023-07-05 15:13:28 CVSROOT: /cvs Module name: src Changes by: beck@cvs.openbsd.org 2023/07/05 09:13:28 Modified files: sys/kern : vfs_syscalls.c sys/sys : mount.h sys/ufs/ffs : ffs_softdep.c ffs_vfsops.c Log message: Make softdep mounts a no-op Softdep is a significant impediment to progressing in the vfs layer so we plan to get it out of the way. It is too clever for us to continue maintaining as it is. ok kettenis@ kn@ tobhe@ and most of the g2k23 room except bluhm@
We look forward to further work and explanation of the motivation behind this change, sure to follow.
