There are some issues with vinum (particularly the RAID-5 code) that I believe are not fixed unless you're running a recent version of -CURRENT, and I don't know whether any of those changes will be back-ported to -STABLE, so keep this in mind. Likewise, there are some issues with running softupdates under certain circumstances (even with -CURRENT), so you don't want to run it on a particular partition unless you know that you actually need the features it provides, and you know that you can live with the problems. I'd encourage you to go to DejaNews and look in the archives they have of the sol.lists.freebsd.stable and sol.lists.freebsd.current newsgroups, which are gatewayed from the mailing lists. -- These are my opinions and should not be taken as official Skynet policy _________________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin Rue Col.
