Available Distribution release omnios community r151048 based on the achievements of the project illumos and providing full support for Bhyve and KVM hypervisors, the virtual network stack Crossbow, the ZFS file system and the means of launching lightweight Linux containers. The distribution can be used both for building scalable web systems, and for creating storage systems.
In a new issue:
- Added support for NVMe 2.x devices.
- Added the possibility of an ATA-Through ATA Pass-Through), which allows you to use the SMARTCTL utility for SATA disks without unnecessary manipulations.
- In the nucleus, support for the new CPU AMD is added. Added support for the performance meters provided in AMD Zen 4 processors. To increase the performance of virtual machines and reduce overhead costs when switching context on systems with AMD Zen 4 processors, IBRS.
- Illumos has been transferred changes that improve CIFS/SMB support.
- To the Lofi driver added support for Discard/Trim.
- IPV6 support is improved.
- Added support for Smbios 3.7.
- Implementation of the “Which” utility is replaced by an option written in SI (previously applied implementation on CSH).
- The “-z” parameter for working with services in non-global zones is added to the SVCCFG utility.
- Remove the Printmgr application, which is incompatible with new versions of Java.
- The Strtonumx function is added to the standard library, complementing the STRTONUM function.
- Added a new experimental insulation zone “EMU”, designed to start the system in the qemu emulator.
- In the LX zones designed to launch Linux, the BUSYBOX loading is established in SetSOCKOPOPT () Added support of the IPV6_Repverr option, the AT_Secure parameter for the user Root.
- In the Bhyve hypervisor, work with memory pages is significantly accelerated, which has reduced the load time of guest systems. The possibilities of the Viona virtual networks driver.
