[+claudio, openbsd port maintainer] It has been a year since Julien's message above, given there hasn't been a fix for this issue I think we should more strongly warn people before they consider running Prometheus on OpenBSD.
Please would it be possible to put a note on the Prometheus port that Prometheus upstream cannot currently recommend Prometheus on OpenBSD, due to data corruption issues.
