Hi...

Currently running FreeBSD 5.5-STABLE, but am considering running jails with ezjail however nullfs does not seem to be stable in 5.5.

Has any of you upgrade a life system 5.x to 6.1-STABLE? Any serious gotcha's?

How is 6.1-STABLE for server purposes stability wise? (Dual Opteron machines with 2 GB of RAM and 256GB SATA drives)

Thanks!
Jan

6-STABLE is very solid. I've upgraded about 20 systems from 5.x to 6.x. One thing I did on all of them was to go to the latest 5-STABLE code first, then hop to 6-STABLE. I highly recommend 6-STABLE for the many many UFS/VFS bug fixes.
