Posted by timothy on Sunday May 1, 2011 @09:59AM from the release-the-kraken dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The release of OpenBSD 4.9 has been announced. New highlights included since 4.8: enabled NTFS by default (read-only), the vmt(4) driver by default for VMWare tools, SMP kernels can now boot on machines with up to 64 cores, support for AES-NI instructions found in recent Intel processors, improvements in suspend and resume, OpenSSH 5.8, MySQL 5.1.54, LibreOffice 3.3.0.4, and bug fixes." Also in BSD news, an anonymous reader writes "DragonFly BSD 2.10 has been released! The latest release brings data deduplication (online and at garbage-collection time) to the HAMMER file system. Capping off years of work, the MP lock is no longer the main point of contention in multiprocessor systems. It also brings a new version of the pf packet filter, support for 63 CPUs and 512 GB of RAM and switches the system compiler to gcc 4.4."

Why is NTFS read only. by jack2000 · 2011-05-01 10:05 · Score: 4, Funny

Why is NTFS always read only. It shouldn't be so hard to make a proper file system driver what the hell?

  NTFS is by no means avant guard
  Just like your knowledge of French, it would seem.
