Fbsd needs SAN support before it can cope with virtualization..virtualization requires a lot of disk..spindles..and FCP/iSCSI is a great way to drive this condensation.
I mean..when you have to read this list, and see people wonder which end of a SAN connection owns the responsibility for fsck'ing a SAN filesystem, I wonder how quickly I can bone up on Linux. In ten years at Network Appliance..wanna know exactly how many FreeBSD host installs ive seen besides Yahoo? 2. How many -non- Linux SAN configurations? Probly 80% of all SAN I see and work with are Linux based. Fbsd NFS client performance is 1/3'd that of a tuned linux box, can you say ../..? If you can, you know what its like to never have a valid directory attr cache on your mounts. (ick) Automount...dont even go there. Im in this for the long haul..I like Fbsd, and as long s lynx and apache still work on it, im happy. As for the future..I just dont see much serious future there unless it grows up. Rememer when Linux couldnt do _crap_ and Fbsd 2.5 was the bomb? I do...I want like to see that again. On 1/9/07, Nikolas Britton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Yes, and they have done their part. Now it's FreeBSD's turn to integrate the changes needed to the kernel into the kernel to make Dom0 support work. Linux has it, Solaris has it. NetBSD has it. Mac has it? FreeBSD does not have it. Server virtualization is the next big thing and FreeBSD has nothing going for it in this respect... Not even VMware or any of the other big players works with FreeBSD as a host OS. > Seems like your comment (was related) but off-topic. It is off-topic... don't really care at this point. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
