I prefer icream. What does have journaling with sync async mode in
common?? They on completely two different levels- one say driver operation
the other filesystem. And yes, sync mode is slow; running OBSD you
perfectly know how much time you need to use security implemeted on
inodes. It's slooow.

Base installation? Could be.

Neither did I though when I wanted to buy a notebook which would be able
to run 3.3-3.9 I had to check very close even NICs to be sure they would
run. True, every half a year it gets better.

The funny thing is that you attacked me while I am the last person who
should be attacked on OBSD basis. Saying nothing of wrong news group to do
so .
