FreeBSD usage is mostly hidden behind very large storage environments. Think PB scale HPC and NetApp (the glorified FreeBSD with some sellable added complexity)

FreeBSD usage is mostly hidden behind very large storage environments. Think PB scale HPC and NetApp (the glorified FreeBSD with some sellable added complexity), all running FreeBSD at it's core.

I guess the various Playstations are the most widespread FreeBSD deployment.

  And TrueNAS, pfSense and OPNsense

  Except there is just as much FreeBSD on PlayStation OS as there is on iOS.

  huh, does that explain why the PS5, in 2023, still gets really upset about having power yanked while it’s not turned all the way off? It yells at you (talk to PG&E, Sony) and does a slow fsck when power is restored. Being stuck with old FreeBSD FFS would explain it. You’d think they could invest in a modern filesystem to make this headache go away.

    UFS with journaling makes fsck almost instant. They must be using barebones UFS.

And (at least parts of freebsd) inside all of Apple's devices.
