OPNsense on VMware

[spetrillo]

Hello all,

My client runs an OPNsense firewall on VMware. It runs really well and takes no real resources. I am building a replacement 25.7 firewall. As I got to the storage config I stopped thinking...should I allocate two disks and run these in a ZFS raid 1 pair. Well can someone comment if this makes any sense under VMware?

Thanks,
Steve

Since ZFS is a COW filesystem, it will usually be consistent, unlike UFS. But redundancy would probably better be left to the "real" storage layer.
