I started running short on disk space for the non-production FreshPorts hosts. This time, I have decided to ask for donations. See my recent blog post which points to my Patreon account.
Commit processing is stalled - it is a jail issue. I will work on it later today. 2025-09-17 12:17 UTC - It has been fixed. Sometime before 17:27 UTC.

This only works with IBM Enterprise Tape, or IBM-branded LTO-5 and newer tape drives, although there is a file backend for simulation purposes. You will only be able to read and write tapes with a blocksize <= MAXPHYS, which is 128KB by default. Put the following in your kernel config file and recompile/reinstall to allow reading and writing tapes up to the maximum LTFS blocksize of 1MB: options MAXPHYS=(1024*1056)

filesystems: add new category for file systems and related utilities

The filesystems category houses file systems and file system utilities.
It is added mainly to turn the sysutils/fusefs-* pseudo-category into
a proper one, but is also useful for the sundry of other file systems
related ports found in the tree.

Ports that seem like they belong there are moved to the new category.
Two ports, sysutils/fusefs-funionfs and sysutils/fusefs-fusepak are
not moved as they currently don't fetch and don't have TIMESTAMP set
in their distinfo, but that is required to be able to push a rename
of the port by the pre-receive hook.
