This sounds like the kind of thing "Release notes" were designed for. I was= not able to find them on the first page of the FreeBSD website, but if you= click the big "Get FreeBSD Now" button, there is a link in the table detai= ling the releases: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/relnotes.html >=20 > I am backing up this system to another=20 > system, so if I end up losing the data or having to rebuild > the > array, that's fine, it just sucks having to copy the 2TB of > data over the wire afterward. Good idea ;) FreeBSD no longer supports "dangerously dedicated" UFS filesystems (section= 2.2.5 of Detailed release notes) but I'm not sure if that is possible with= gmirror. > Thanks for your help! >=20 > ++AMARU PS: Your reply to yourself was in the same digest message. Not everybody is= in your timezone either. Regards, James Phillips =0A=0A
