If one of the #FreeBSD ports committers could look into the small #ZeroFS update patch at https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291242 that would be very much appreciated.
Then the upgrade could be included in the next quarterly package builds... :)
Create a #S3 backed #ZFS zpool with #minio on #FreeBSD: https://honeyguide.eu/blog/2025-09-09/
ZeroFS: S3-backed ZPOOL Via NBD Service on FreeBSD (Proof of Concept, Part 2) # Introduction # ZeroFS turns S3 storage into a high-performance, always-encrypted, globally accessible, and scalable file system—no FUSE drivers required. There’s also an official ZeroFS github repo.
You can now run an #NFS file server backed by scalable and redundant #S3 object storage, only using #FreeBSD.
Proof of concept using #Garage and the new #ZeroFS port: https://honeyguide.eu/blog/2025-08-29/

I don't know if anybody noticed #ZeroFS yet, but it seems there is a completely user space-implementation of #NFS and #blockstorage on top of #S3 #objectstorage: https://github.com/Barre/zerofs
Including a demo running #ZFS on top of it which essentially allows geo-redundant ZFS volumes: https://asciinema.org/a/728234 & https://github.com/Barre/zerofs?tab=readme-ov-file#geo-distributed-storage-with-zfs
I don't see no #FreeBSD port yet, but if that really works it would be absolutely awesome.
