jjGot myself a new untested octeon, and it mostly runs OpenBSD.

Scott BennettNow running 6.9-beta on the #octeon 
I'm excited to have the TCP ACK performance increase and the PF_LOCK change (good stuff for a router!)
Potentially unrelated to the above, but the reorder_kernel step also went from ~1.5 minutes to 30 seconds 
If anyone was curious:
Yes, OpenBSD does run well on the Edge Router 6p. Especially after upgrading the storage via the front USB port.
Neat little #octeon router with 5 ethernet ports plus 1 SFP (I think?). Should allow for all the network segmentation one should need at home.
Jonathan BeriI have to..."but can it run Slack?"

First time building the system from source (-stable) on #octeon. Started the process on Friday afternoon, expecting it to take a while. Was not expecting the build to still be going 2 days later... 
I had a hunch that maybe this was a partition clash, and it seems my hunch was correct!
Solution: Recreate a new partition with a letter not already in use by the #ER6p (in my case 'f'). Flash drive mounted successfully after that!
So it seems that #octeon machines (or maybe just the ER6p) can only handle unique partition letters? (i.e. no simultaneous sd0a and sd1a)
Am I a dummy for expecting a flash drive formatted (disklabel -E; newfs) on amd64 to be mount-able on an #octeon machine?
# mount -v /dev/sd1a /mnt/usb
mount_ffs: /dev/sd1a on /mnt/usb: Invalid argument
Does that mean the drive is trash, or should I simply try reformatting on the octeon box itself?
teduAdd retguard to #clang for #openbsd #octeon #mips64.
