Opinions welcome. > Just another data point: running 9.1-RC1 as well as 9.1-RC2 since they have become available on my primary workstation/build server (for pkgng pkg's), in addition to my mail/web/shell servers. I have managed all my updates via freebsd-update, so no custom bits compiled for the kernel or userland. have had no lockups, and performance is great on my workstation/build server. On all systems I've been using a combination of ufs and zfs w/o issues as well. Hope this helps. -pete -- pete wright www.nycbug.org @nomadlogicLA
