As the subject says, I almost installed linux over my BSD installation due to frustrations I was having with iscsi backed by ZVols.
It started with a clean installation 6 months(?) ago of 12.1-RELEASE ... zfs lock ups.
Frustrated, I installed -STABLE (r354873) 3 months(?) ago. I knew this branch was more up to date and if this bug had been fixed, I'd find the solution here ... yet it wasn't.
The lockups continued. I decided to live with it; cursing and moaning the entire time...until tonight. My frustrations got the best of me and I almost clicked the download link for the latest Centos.
As my finger bear down on the left mouse button for Centos, my entire BSD history flashed before my eyes and I paused.
I started using BSD back in '01 I think it was.
I pushed for the hosting company I was working for at the time to invest financially ... and they did.
My clients in this hosting company were 50% of the BSD share.
I've written patches for both documentation and a few utilities found in the base system; admittedly not as much as I'd like.
.... etc.
I woke up from this haze. It seemed like an eternity. I quickly closed the tab for the Centos download page and chugged the glass of chocolate milk I had sitting on my desk.
It was from a few hours ago; warm, tasted a little off, but still quenched my thirst.
I decided to try again. I downloaded the latest -STABLE (r363997) and started the build process.
I sat here anxiously watching ascii characters fly by the screen on this Ryzen processor, trying to make our where in the build process it was.
It's a lot like watching 80's porn (safe for work - at least I think so): https://external-preview.redd.it/Vv...bp&s=8feb6e6f5bcef9bba7ba4cc83cfc70f3fe000f04
Fully exhausted from this excitement, the build finally completed and I rebooted.
It worked. [Mod: Watch your language please]

Devs, you guys rock. Can't express this enough at how awesome both the community and you guys are.
I should have never doubted, and for that I'm sorry. Keep up the great work!
