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.
