Sounds like it's not great as a server either, if the virtualisation support still isn't up to scratch.

- BSDobelix 2y agoAnd losing files after a crash is something that hasn't happened to me for at least a decade (not with NTFS,ZFS(FreeBSD),UFS2(FreeBSD), ext4 or XFS), maybe rip out soft updates was a bad idea?
- nicce 2y agoUsually you use it as firewall or router in bare metal.
- p_l 2y agoAnd it was starting to stupidly lag for those use cases by 2007, because after some point you start care about firewall/router performance too...
- technofiend 2y agoI adore OpenBSD because it's so lightweight, but I dropped it for FreeBSD when the same hardware couldn't max out a 1 gigabit connection running OpenBSD but could with Free. Since then they have made network changes so I'll probably try again even though the bar's moved and now I need 2.5 gigabit connections to be saturated. Happy to give it a chance anyway.
- p_l 2y agoI just remember considering it for routing/firewalling duties about 2007, grabbing then-current performance optimization guide, and finding whole chapter in how to force irq sharing so that interrupts from any NIC will trigger driver code from all NICs...
- paulnpace 2y agoShe states in that post she had issues running virtual machines on OpenBSD. This isn't the same running OpenBSD in a virtual environment.
