Re: does openbsd support file history?

Why reinvent the wheel?
Just go TrueNAS.
That's all you need, besides a HBA.

interesting!  it reminds me of coraid's venti-backed network block
device servers.  it's rather indirect and complex for what i want
though.  i want a network fileserver so there seems little point going
through openbsd.  i might as well serve the files straight from freebsd
or from plan 9.  i think plan 9 is up to 4 log structured filesystems
now; people keep writing them.  or i guess there's linux with btrfs.
i've never used btrfs, haven't used linux in earnest for a long time.

thanks everyone!
