I have no problems with the hardware. In fact neither Release notes nor UPDATING says anything about my possible (and actually occured) problems. The only thing is:=20 =E2=80=9Cdangerously dedicated=E2=80=9D mode for the UFS file system is no = longer supported. I never supposed that I'm using this mode. I format disks and install with sysinstall without any special tuning for fdisk or disklabel. I prefer standard options to ensure smooth future upgrades. So I'd like to know how to distinguish mode of my current filesystems - is it standard or dangerously dedicated?
