“I don’t know about other microkernels” implies that NetBSD is also a microkernel. It is not.

Microkernel is not a size distinction. NetBSD kernel may even be smaller in terms of LOC or binary size than some microkernels. Idk. But that is beside the point.

Microkernel is an *architecture*. It is a name for a specific type of kernel design, which NetBSD is not.

Ah, these were dead so I didn’t see this confusion before my comment above.

I read it as:

“I don’t know about other microkernels [that support ZFS], but NetBSD is a small kernel [that supports ZFS]”

Can you please edit out personal swipes from your HN comments? You did it repeatedly, and the site guidelines ask you not to: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

It's great, of course, to provide correct information. But please do it without putdowns; you don't need them, and they acidify discussion.
