Basic differences between Linux and FreeBSD kernels are de- scribed as well as differences in implementation of the Virtual Filesystem, crucial part for RedirFS. Further there are described possibilities and different approaches to implemen- tation RedirFS functionality to FreeBSD. Then, the possibilities are evaluated and ideal approach is proposed. Next chapters introduces erquired functionality of the new module as well as its solutions. Then the implementation details are describet so the reader can very well understand how the new module works and how the required functionality is implemented into the module.

The following is a list of the most important features: • Utilizes the crypto(9) framework, so when there is crypto hardware available, geli will make use of it automatically. • Supports many cryptographic algorithms (currently AES, Blowfish and 3DES). • Can create a key from a couple of components (user entered passphrase, random bits from a file, etc.). • Allows to encrypt the root partition - the user will be asked for the passphrase before the root file system is mounted. • The passphrase of the user is strengthened with: B.

It is not that other filesystems are bad; they just make the mistake of trusting your storage hardware to return your data when you ask for it.

ZFS is the only open-source, OpenZFS is available on many plat- production-quality filesystem that can not only forms, including FreeBSD and Solaris detect but correct the errors when a disk derivatives like IllumOS, as well as Mac returns incorrect data.

However, not all of the able to ensure your data is safe, even in the functionality is available on the latter absence of one or more disks, depending on platforms. The FreeBSD Project has fully your configuration. ZFS doesn’t trust your adopted ZFS, putting significant effort hardware; it verifies that the correct data was into integrating it with the system and returned from each read from the disk.
