Phoronix: DragonFlyBSD's makefs Adds Support For FAT

One could consider it long overdue, but DragonFlyBSD has finally merged support for FAT file-systems with the makefs utility...

Who uses DragonFlyBSD? Only the creator, right?

My web server runs DragonFlyBSD. It's reliable and practical, I recommend it.

How did DragonflyBSD support UEFI boot before if it didn't support FAT? Is this code just for FAT12 and FAT16 and FAT32 was already supported? Or did the project just not support UEFI boot? I know most of the *BSDs if not all of them don't support secure boot but I thought we were at a point where UEFI was supported across the board.

Just out of curiosity, why not FreeBSD or OpenBSD?

DragonFly is lighter-weight than FreeBSD and faster than OpenBSD. I like Matt Dillon's vision of what Unix should be and the strong leadership he provides.
