Let us know when you can add "journaling file system" to the list.

Hopefully some acceptable filesystem will be added in the near future.

A port of Dragonfly BSD's HAMMER2 is being worked on[0], but that repo also has this bit:

"This repository will be abandoned once Linux or FreeBSD is stabilized with write support. OpenBSD is not the main area of interest."

i have never had a problem with the filesystems.

Good for you. I had.

On OpenBSD 6.x, after power outage/intel drm kernel freeze I had catastrophic data losses. This is not acceptable for me on a desktop/workstation OS. Linux FS stability is better since the 2.4 era in my experience.

I wasn't quite as bad for me, but every once in a while, after a power outage (or the very, very rare kernel panic), I need to get out the laptop and the serial cable to manually fsck my headless server box, because the automatic fsck wouldn't continue on its own.

It's pretty annoying, to say the least. But OpenBSD is such a fantastic system overall, I keep using it, and just wait for them to adopt a journaling filesystem. (And have good backups.)

I really liked the trunk (4) virtual network device, and lots of small stuff, and the barebones experience had its own appeal.

Now that softdeps is disabled and the vfs getting an overhaul I might try it again... in a few years.

You've never had to fsck a 10TB spinning disk then...
