All, Currently, I'm really only interested in using FreeBSD so that I can leverage ZFS Deduplication (available in ZFS v21 and higher) on one server. What is the best (most stable) way to get this functionality at the moment? Should I just install FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE and then apply the backported ZFS v28 patch such as the one below: http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/zfs_20100831.patch.bz2 Mike On 05/13/2011 11:35 AM, Chuck Swiger wrote: > On May 13, 2011, at 11:29 AM, Mike Seda wrote: >> If I install FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT, I will be able to upgrade to FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE (once available) via the freebsd-update utility, right? > There isn't a supported RELENG_9 branch, yet. > > Once it exists, it is likely that you could use freebsd-update to move from the published betas or RC versions of 9.0 to 9.0-RELEASE, but you're not going to be able to move from some arbitrary snapsnot from HEAD to 9.0-RELEASE with freebsd-update. > > Regards,
