  Tangential, but is anyone still using Illumos in production?

        Not unrelated, of course -- but it was certainly not the foregone conclusion that you might expect![0] [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P5Mk_IggE0&t=5317s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P5Mk_IggE0&t=5317s

          Ah, makes a ton of sense actually, thanks. Didn't mean to Beetlejuice you, Bryan :)

    Literally just deployed a pair of new OmniOS NFS servers last night, for high-availability hosting. We also serve VM storage from a pair of Illumos ZFS boxes over iSCSI. We switched most of our primary NFS storage pairs from Linux to Illumos a good five years ago due to a bunch of locking issues and race conditions with high-volume NFS traffic. Solid as a rock as long as you have the right HBA heh
