DEADFS(9) Kernel Developer's Manual DEADFS(9) NAME deadfs -- pseudo-filesystem to own reclaimed vnodes DESCRIPTION The deadfs file system implements operations that do not modify any data and instead return indications of invalid IO. Its role is to provide a fallback vnode operations vector for reclaimed vnode(9)'s. It is a kernel-only pseudo-file system and so cannot be mounted from user- space. SEE ALSO insmntque(9), vnode(9), VOP_RECLAIM(9) HISTORY UNIX System Manager's Manual (SMM) for 4.4BSD described deadfs as a file system "where rejected vnods go to die". AUTHORS The deadfs manual page was written by Mateusz Piotrowski <0mp@FreeBSD.org>. FreeBSD 15.1 October 24, 2025 DEADFS(9)
