Ding dong, nothing to do with guest level utilities. Completely
irrelevant, and I've repeated that numerous times here. All Amazon's
guest level tools work perfectly fine on FreeBSD. Amazon has ZERO
Linux/Windows/FreeBSD/whatever specific stuff.

And that's why I'm trying to use FreeBSD as it has features that Linux
doesn't have. Trust me, if Linux had everything FreeBSD has, why would
I use FreeBSD? It's even more expensive on AWS!
Jeremy> EBS is a closed, black-box-proprietary thing.
Ding dong, it's just block storage like every other block storage out
there. Sigh.
I fail to see that mentioning something Linux can do on this mailing
list would upset you? You don't want to know or read that??
