Congrats on the cool OpenBSD SAN installation. I was wondering how you are dealing with the relatively large filesystem. By default, if you lose power to the server, OpenBSD will do a rather long fsck when coming back up. To alleviate this, there are numerous suggestions running around that involve mounting with softdep, commenting out the fsck portion of rc and doing mount -f. Are you doing any of these things, or are you just living with the long fsck? Thanks in advance for any insight into your installation you are willing to provide.
This is just a subversion repository server for a bunch of developers. There are no dire uptime requirements, so I don't see a lengthy fsck being an issue. Not to mention the hefty UPS keeping it powered. Sorry if this doesn't help you out, but it's not a big problem on my end (thankfully).
If it was, I would have just created many slices and distributed projects equally across them.
