I'm going to build a router for use in a remote location, and I have chosen OpenBSD 6.5 for the task. Unfortunately, it's not possible to protect the router with an UPS, so it will have to be resilient enough to survive sudden power outages and still boot without manual intervention.
In the past I have built a few Linux based routers and they were configured to run from RAM. I have made some research to see if this is also possible on OpenBSD and found that, while there are solutions to have / read-only, none of this is officially supported. Can anyone with experience running OpenBSD routers without UPS, tell if filesystem corruption is going to be a problem after power outages, or if there are any officially supported ways to make the system resilient enough to not break after a power outage? I'm using an mSATA disk with MLC flash in the router. Thanks in advance. Mogens Jensen
