This means that it is now possible to encrypt DragonFly partitions (e.g., HAMMER and UFS). While it is possible to only encrypt certain partition like `/home/`, it is also possible to encrypt the whole root file system. The latter is especially useful for mobile devices. + +**Packet Filter (pf)** - Pf was updated to a version based upon OpenBSD 4.2. The previous version of pf in DragonFly was based on OpenBSD 3.5. This, in addition to laying the ground for further following OpenBSD's implementation, introduced several performance gains: Information like route-to, altq, tags, etc are now stored in the `mbuf` header directly. This was partially already the case up to DragonFly 2.6, but now the implementation corresponds to DragonFly-specific additions, support for fairq packet queueing and pickups, have remained intact. **thingname** - thingsdesc
