OpenBSD gets early experimental port of Plan 9's GEFS filesystem

Developer ori has released a very early, buggy preview of GEFS—a crash-safe, snapshotting, copy-on-write filesystem originally built for Plan 9's 9front—running on OpenBSD. The port, under 9,000 lines of kernel code, is not intended for production use, with data loss expected especially during error conditions, and is not being proposed for inclusion in the OpenBSD tree yet.
