Hi there, as per of the following article: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/lin= ux-emulation/article.html under the section number 5.2, the author of the ar= ticle says that the Linux kernel which they work to emulate it in FreeBSD is= the 2.6 kernel version. he also stated there that setting the "compat.linux= .osrelease" via sysctl to another values than 2.6 influence only on the vers= ion number which is outputted by the uname command. my question is if there is a plan to add support to emulation of the Linux k= ernel of higher Linux kernels like 4.5.x with all of the features of those k= ernel versions. it is to say, when one will set the "compat.linux.osrelease"= to version 4.5.1 for instance, it will not only affect the version that is o= utputted by uname but rather will enable all the new features of the 4.5.x k= ernels if any. Regards, atar.=
