OpenBSD 2.9

[DnetMHZ]

Has anyone here upgraded to OpenBSD 2.9?

I am running my web server on 2.8 right now and was thinking about moving
to 2.9 mainly for the increase in File system performance (quite a huge one from what I'm seeing)


was just wondering if anyone has seen this to be true in production

thanks

I haven't done this personally but I don't see how it could hurt. If it's a mission critical server then put 2.9 on another machine and test it for a week or two. If all goes well move it to the main server.

I know this is a little off topic, but why OpenBSD over something like FreeBSD or NetBSD?

From the OpenBSD website:

<< Four years without a remote hole in the default install! >>

Can you say the same for Free/NetBSD????


WELL???

tried them all and OpenBSD just worked better in this particular application.
also I liked the security track record of OpenBSD.

thats about it

I run OpenBSD 2.9 on both of my desktops. The filesystem enhancements are wonderful. It is deffinately a beautiful thing 😉
I do recommend running it on a test system first as always. And make friends with the developers 😀

At work we've experienced better performance with the upgrade to 2.9 from 2.8
