Hi!

Does anyone have experience comparing ZFS performance on

different operating systems on the same hardware.

It is very interesting to compare the performance on FreeBSD and Linux.

For a practical example there would be a need to put FreeBSD on your Helios64 which I am not aware of that it is possible (yet). I know from other RK3399 boards that they can run FreeBSD with a few issues though.

I don't see any particular problem installing FreeBSD on Helios64.
It works for me.
The question is - how to properly test this?

Interesting. Didn't know it is possible and you already tinkered with this. Great job.

For others FYI: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/freebsd-desktop-for-rk3399-sbc.76090/

Yes it works on version 13.0-CURRENT, and there is OpenZFS in it.

Here is the boot log.

Welcome to FreeBSD!

 

 

Cool.

Is there some kind a supported table to know which features of the RK3399 work and which not? you know the causal stuff like HDMI output, USB-C, cpufreqd  and so on...

 

Curious about putting it on a NanoPi R4S (RK3399, 4G LPDDR4, dual GBe, headless)

No table!
Since there is no official support for many RK3399 SBCs yet.

 

But enthusiasts manage to install FreeBSD on many SBCs.
For example ganbold@freebsd.org installed on NanoPI R4S
not only FreeBSD but OPNsense! Twitter

I learned to do it for Rock Pi-E.  Twitter

@SleepWalker You don't want to share your FreeBSD image for others to test also ?

 Ready to send download link to everyone, who wants to take part in testing.

 I will answer private messages with a request for testing.
