I suspect by “battle-tested” they didn’t mean World War 2.
(/s of course, and trying out the x86 port is high on my TODO list.)
- protomyth 4y agoOn a serious note, I dearly wish someone had taken the lessons of OpenVMS into the open source world. Its clustering is amazing.

- protomyth 4y agohttps://vmssoftware.com/products/clusters/ https://vmssoftware.com/products/clusters/ We had machines in two buildings with multiple machines in the cluster. You could upgrade machines in a cluster and not lose any time. I thought DragonflyBSD is trying to head in that direction with storage (HAMMER).
- trasz 4y agoI believe the problem here is business-level, and this can’t really be fixed technically. The problem is, this kind of design requires organized commitment to run it to completion, and can’t work in a culture focused on dropping a half-working MVP early and then failing to follow up.
