* full virtualization
I am using VirtualBox in production with HAST + ZVOLs, but we need
something like DRBD's dual master mode to be able to do a teleport of the
instance like Ganeti does (http://code.google.com/p/ganeti/) with Linux
Getting Xen dom0 and/or KVM would be a major boost as a virtualization
platform, in particular with ZFS.
* Gluster
For very large FSes, nothing beats it, especially now that 3.3 has been
released.
Mind you, I've been using FreeBSD for about 19 years, so I'm not about
to change, but the two items above would go a long way to help FreeBSD
grow in the data center space again (what the kids call the cloud :)
Cheers,
Phil
