LLDB Improvements Part I - Infrastructure Improvements

This muliti-stage project aims to provide FreeBSD with a modern debugger and bring LLDB closer to being a fully featured GDB replacement.

In Progress

Development of the “RAID-Z Expansion” Feature for ZFS

The Zettabyte File System (ZFS) is a combined file system and logical volume manager designed to protect against data corruption and support high storage capacities.

The Foundation is sponsoring Matthew Ahrens to develop a “RAID-Z Expansion” feature. This will allow adding an extra disk to an existing RAID-Z group, allowing the expansion from a 4-wide RAID-Z1 group into a 5-wide RAID-Z1 group.

In Progress

WiFi update - Intel drivers and 802.11ac

The FreeBSD WiFi stack needs ongoing maintenance and development to keep up with new standards and devices. The Foundation is funding Bjoern Zeeb to integrate support for current-generation Intel WiFi devices by migrating to the dual-licensed upstream driver in the Linux kernel.
