Did you ever evaluate FreeBSD? My hesitation with Illumos and downstream distros is the small number of people maintaining the ecosystem (not that any of the BSD's have huge dev teams by comparison, but still).
That said, I think OpenSolaris is technically superior in most ways to any of the BSD's.
- Enderboi 4y agoYeah, FreeBSD was an improvement with regards to ZFS/NFS integration not having any major issues. Unfortunately we had some strange HBA issues with our disk shelves, which went away with an Illumos downstream. Since our use case for this was basically an isolated box that just supplied NFS shares, the limited ecosystem wasn't a major concern more so than stability :)
