+	  file system.  The TRIM-enable flag makes the file system
+	  send a delete request to the underlying device for each
+	  freed block.  The <literal>TRIM</literal> command is
+	  specified as a Data Set Management Command in the ATA8-ACS2
+	  standard to carry the information related to deleted data
+	  blocks to a device, especially for a SSD (Solid-State Drive) for
+	  optimization.</para>
+
+	<para revision="221233">A new flag <option>-E</option> has
+	  been added to the &man.newfs.8; and &man.fsck.ffs.8; utilities.
+	  This clears unallocated blocks, notifying the underlying
+	  device that they are not used and that their contents may be
+	  discarded.  This is useful in &man.fsck.ffs.8; for file
+	  systems which have been mounted on systems without
+	  <literal>TRIM</literal> support, or with
+	  <literal>TRIM</literal> support disabled, as well as
+	  filesystems which have been copied from one device to
+	  another.</para>
+
+	<para revision="221436">The &os; NFS subsystem now supports a
+	  <option>nocto</option> mount option.  This disables the
+	  close-to-open cache coherency check at open time.  This
+	  option may improve performance for read-only mounts, but
+	  should only be used only if the data on the server changes
+	  rarely.  The &man.mount.nfs.8; utility now also supports
+	  this flag keyword.</para>
+
+	<para revision="225537">A &man.loader.8; tunable
+	  <varname>vfs.typenumhash</varname> has been added.  Setting
+	  this to <literal>1</literal> enables to use a hash
+	  calculation on the file system identification number
+	  internally used in the kernel.  This fixes the <quote>Stale
+	  NFS file handle</quote> error on NFS clients when upgrading
+	  or rebuilding the kernel on the NFS server due to unexpected
+	  change of these identification number values.  Note that
+	  this is set to <literal>0</literal> (disable) by default for
+	  backward compatibility.</para>
+
+	<para revision="219089">The &os; ZFS subsystem has been
+	  updated to the SPA (Storage Pool Allocator, also known as
+	  zpool) version 28.  It now supports data deduplication,
+	  triple parity RAIDZ (raidz3), snapshot holds, log device
+	  removal, zfs diff, zpool split, zpool import
+	  <option>-F</option>, and read-only zpool import.</para>
