Yep, thats the one

I have moved away from linode now though

Since Akamai took over it went downhill

But when it was working on vioscsi they were pretty solid at running omnios

Yeah I have to say ... I was not impressed with the console

I imported a small image and it took 12-24 hours to move from "pending" state to online or whatever

Oh, it finally got past pending? That's... slow!

Move it over to freebsd (couldn't get illumos to boot at hetzner) and the experience (aside for the DNS console) is miles more pleasant

jclulow why the sudden interest in running on linode?

Well if there's an illumos bug here, we should find and fix it.

Might just be a linode bug though, as freebsd also doesn't boot anymore

They do only technically support linux AFAIK

Yes, it definitely might. It'll be interesting to find out what exactly they've done.

Yeah I have no interest in using it myself at the moment, just making sure we get bugs filed on things that don't work
