Hello. I wish we could use FreeBSD as basic platform, but it is not possible. We met several problems which led to mass migration to Debian. First of all, hardware support. EMC multipath was not supported by FreeBSD 8, and it was a necessary thing in our environment. We tried to use custom patches, but met wired boot0 behavior - it randomly hung. We were interested in VNET jails to have separate network stack for a jail, but they were not stable enough. And the last thing - there were no means of resource control to prevent malfunctioning jail to influence badly the whole system. So, we moved our infrastructure to OpenVZ/Debian and got all this plus possibility of live migration for containers and easy binary package management. -- Best regards, Alexander Pyhalov, system administrator of Computer Center of Southern Federal University
