Is there any way i could increase the performance of OpenBSD on my ThinkPad?

That ThinkPad T400 is REALLY old and OpenBSD is known to be slow - so if you connect slow hardware with slow OS ... you get what You get.

IMHO update to at least to T420/T430 ... or change OpenBSD to NetBSD or FreeBSD.

Thanks - I tried it under NetBSD in FreeBSD Bhyve VM - but no luck for me:

netbsd# uname -prsm
NetBSD 10.1 amd64 x86_64

netbsd# ./lsblk.NetBSD
DEV      LABEL        FS     SIZE   USED USE% MOUNT
----------------------------------------------------------------------
disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Inappropriate ioctl for device

About my other comment below/above - its already fixed in latest version of pkgbasify(8) so you can convert Jails to PKGBASE if needed with that tool.

Currently pkgbasify(8) does not work inside Jails - I created a BUG here:

• https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/pkgbasify/issues/30

I would love to sit down on this and just port it to NetBSD ... but this month time is my 'valuable' thing - and I need to provide some things that I need to do for a living - please try and share what you found to work - I would really like to make lsblk(8) also work on NetBSD - as if FreeBSD would not exist - the NetBSD UNIX is the system I would be using instead :)

Also ... is there some gpart(8) FreeBSD equivalent on NetBSD?

Doesn’t look like glabel is available on NetBSD

Is there some alternative command for labels on NetBSD?

Yep - I fucked up - fortunately thatsit@sh.itjust.work fixed that in comment below :)

Hi and thanks for testing it on NetBSD - let me know how it went - we can add that to my repo and I can 'maintain' lsblk(8) that will both for FreeBSD and NetBSD :)

Thanks :)

Are you not using the W520 anymore? Your posts were very useful in configuring mine.

I wally like W520 - but it has one drawback for me - it needs at least 135W PSU - which means I can not use USB-C adapters ... but the thing I need the most from W520 (comparing to T520) is that quad core CPU ... and I just bought T520 with quad core CPU - unfortunatelly also with Nvidia 4200 card ... but I will seek for one with 'only Intel GPU'.

The two W520 I have - I will clean them up and sell some time.

So for TL;DR - I will replace mine W520 with T520 to have it as a backup :)

Regards.
