‎It's true that OpenBSD works wonderfully under VMware, especially under a Linux host.   It's so good in fact, I see no logical reason to use OpenBSD any other‎ way because it frees me from driver & firmware he'll; it's true that native performance is probably better, but now I can use OpenBSD as

Installer overwrites partition table

Hi, first of all, I am an experienced OS installer and I did a heck of partitioning in my life. Now I had some unused disk space and I found it a good idea to install OpenBSD. The installers partitioning tool didn't offer me a variant that keeps my existing partitions. Therefore I immediately

Re: DigitalOcean and OpenBSD

I second the recommendation for Vultr. Loading an OpenBSD ISO and using that to install OpenBSD is a very straightforward process and it works very well in my experience. I have had a Vultr VPS running OpenBSD 5.9 for the last few months. It is part of a test to see whether it will function as a

Re: DigitalOcean and OpenBSD

Hello misc Unfortunately even copying raw disk and writing it to a local vm, Disklabel isn't able to "see" labels, the only thing is partitioning scheme. Thank you everyone that gime directions really appreciated ( all those in pvt as well ) Cheers guys ! 2016-08-24 15:37 GMT-03:00 Martin

Re: Installer overwrites partition table

Hello Kamil, Your reply is unreasonably aggressive. Is there something wrong with the OpenBSD in that particular area? I use to install the OBSD to an unused partition - pretty strait forward process. Did something change recently? I've checked the FAQ - didn't find big changes nor warnings

Ok, here is a reply for you and all other motherfuckers that think and answer like you. No so close, OpenBSD and EC2 just is running not more than one year. ( I know very well EC2 ) Based on success history of OpenBSD and KVM in places like DigitalOcean and others why not use a shit place to run

Hey Troy, thank you for your reply At this moment I am performing a dd over ssh. I was able to check with recovery iso provided by DigitalOcean the partition table of OpenBSD seems be there. After that I will try to restore MBR. and hope a obsd boot :) I will post the results. 2016-08-24

Just a brief FYI for those interested in the "MeteorJS on OpenBSD" theme. This will be my last post on this subject, unless something particularly interesting (such as a working solution) comes up. In a nutshell: - According to MeteorJS forums, it was possible to make OpenBSD run on OpenBSD

You are either trolling or telling us there is a usability bug. So please, tell us what you have done step by step, so we can see if there is anything that could be done in a better way. 2016-08-24 15:16 GMT+02:00 Bertram Scharpf : > On Wednesday, 24. Aug 2016, 08:24:34

Re: DigitalOcean and OpenBSD

FWIW, I have been running snapshots/current with full disc encryption on several machines on DigitalOcean for over a year. Never had any problems. If you send a detailed description of how you installed OpenBSD and maybe instructions on how to reproduce the problem you might get better responses.

Hey Cris I don't think so, because everything was going very well. The OpenBSD there just run a unbound , dnscrypt ( pkg_add ) and ipsec vpn. I rebooted today just for curiosity ( because I already faced ) and for my surprise happened again. I guess is something there as cited by @Troy

Re: DigitalOcean and OpenBSD

Hey Anton ! I didn't ask for support ! You are miss understanding ! If I need a support from OpenBSD will be related with some kernel panic or something related as I already reported in the past. In my point of view, I could be wrong sorry if it the case, I see a lot of people sharing

Not helping to the question but... Regarding similar cheap vps service you could try vultr where one can install a custom ISO and have a clean OpenBSD install without pre-installing other OSes - from what I can see it makes everything a big mess. I run a 5.9 stable (updated since original 5.7
