I wasn't quite as bad for me, but every once in a while, after a power outage (or the very, very rare kernel panic), I need to get out the laptop and the serial cable to manually fsck my headless server box, because the automatic fsck wouldn't continue on its own.

It's pretty annoying, to say the least. But OpenBSD is such a fantastic system overall, I keep using it, and just wait for them to adopt a journaling filesystem. (And have good backups.)

I really liked the trunk (4) virtual network device, and lots of small stuff, and the barebones experience had its own appeal.

Now that softdeps is disabled and the vfs getting an overhaul I might try it again... in a few years.
