Will pvscsi driver be added to OPNsense? As per: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D18613

We can assess ability to merge once a MFC hits the FreeBSD stable/12 branch.

Thanks @franco! It would be great - further VMs performance increase, I guess especially for db operations (Sensei and other)...

I just checked... This went in on Thu Nov 14 23:31:20 2019 +0000 but was never moved to stable/12. I am not sure if we will be seeing this before FreeBSD 13.

Uuups, that would mean almost years to wait and not months... Do you know the reason behind such move? Most of Linux distributions have it already included.

Lack of funding most probably.


Sorry,
