Just a note that the fix for the [missing memory barriers in the NetBSD virtio driver](https://gnats.netbsd.org/59618) has now been pulled into the stable NetBSD branches.

Shouldn't a discount be applied before tax (to also reduce your tax liability)?

What would be an example for a fixed amount tax?

Just thought I'd give LVM a try on NetBSD. Note that approximately half of the disk space is used by Debian (most of it on logical volumes - and there is a bit of free space on the volume).

One thing I'd like to try is how NetBSD fares with tilemaker, but with most of the disk space already occupied by Debian and OpenBSD I'll need to get some more space for NetBSD. One option is to just…

Just a quick note: in the @linveo VirtFusion control panel you can now set the boot mode to UEFI, and at last the NetBSD image also works with that boot mode.

Thanked by (1)AlwaysSkint
Just heard from someone who switched to @linveo because of the availability of a NetBSD installation image.
