   OpenZFS 2.3 is here, with RAID expansion and faster dedup

   https://www.theregister.com/2025/01/23/openzfs_23_raid_expansion/

   Coming soon to April's TrueNAS SCALE release, dubbed 'Fangtooth'

     @emaste @theregister Aha, okay! But ZFS 2.3 itself isn't yet, right? You'd need to build it and install it somehow. Maybe in 15?

     @lproven @theregister Ah, FreeBSD 14.2 shipped with OpenZFS 2.2.6 and some subsequent fixes

     https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/sys/contrib/openzfs?h=releng/14.2&id=755e773877e9f3abab3bed2d46d9d87978e303d9

     FreeBSD main (aka CURRENT, and what will become 15.0) picked up RAID-Z expansion in 2023 https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=e716630d4cf89e69ec3f675ebfceee09f1a85e05 and updated to OpenZFS 2.3 in Oct 2024 https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=7a7741af18d6c8a804cc643cb7ecda9d730c6aa6 with additional fixes after that.

     @lproven I don't understand the comment that it will "eventually" be in FreeBSD, too -- if someone wanted to try OpenZFS 2.3 in FreeBSD I'd suggest grabbing the latest snapshot release from https://www.freebsd.org/snapshots/. How does one try it on Ubuntu or Void Linux?

     The @FreeBSDFoundation invested a lot of money to develop RAID-Z expansion so I'm very happy that it's finally in an OpenZFS release.

     @lproven @theregister A little correction:

     > and eventually in FreeBSD, too

     "and is already in FreeBSD" is more accurate. These features have been coming into FreeBSD as they've been developed - for example, the RAID-Z expansion support arrived in November 2023.
