Best solution is ECMP combined with ifstated - you get double bandwidth until one link goes down, in which case it is automatically removed from the routing table until it comes up again. This is a pretty common setup in e.g. Top Of Rack (ToR) switching setups. I just wrote a blog post mentioning

Which app are you running that is generating millions of tiny files in a single directory? Regardless, in this case OpenBSD is not the right tool for the job. You need either FreeBSD or a Solaris variant to handle this problem because you need ZFS. What limits does ZFS have? -
