This is great stuff man! 1. I've asked my VPS provider. Now, if they change to virtio(4) before I get a chance to complete the above steps, will I be locked out of my VPS? 2. Do these steps involve the actual switching from wd/em to vioblk/vio or is that something I must do afterwards? 3. You say "to be able to switch back and forth". Is there any reason why I would want to switch back? 4. M:Tier looks hot! Thanks for the tip! I always figured OpenBSD to be so rock solid, at least compared to FreeBSD where I come from, that I wouldn't need to upgrade to STABLE. Thanks again. O.D.
