Tomorrow morning I'm going to switch my home server back to native FreeBSD. The SmartOS experience was positive, but I noticed a high I/O wait when passing the disks through to the FreeBSD VM, so I think I'll just go fully native again.
It was a good experiment, and it worked out, but for this kind of task, FreeBSD is still the better choice. -

@mkj I'll probably write some posts about illumos, in the future. But I have many about the BSDs on queue, so I'll have to decide which publish first

@lfa it will be, as the basic FreeBSD host is always minimal. I tend to put everything inside the jails, so moving is easy. This server has external disks with specific ZFS pools, so I just need to mount them and launch the jails
