Re: FreeBSD 5.5 -> 6.1 for ISP purposes

Hi again Jan,

It was not an upgrade.
It was a 6.1R install.

Good luck!

Hi Artie!

Thanks for the response!
Great to hear 6.1+ is as solid for server applications as it has seemed to be for my desktop.
Did you every update a 5.5-STABLE box to 6.x? Did you follow any specific procedure?
I personally am too much into the BSD's to ever seriously try a Linux again... ;-)

Thanks!
Jan

Hi Jan,

We run some very high traffic mail systems on 6.1R.
We did have issues before ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ERRATA/notices/FreeBSD-EN-06:02.net.asc was released.
But 6.1 + above patch is rock solid and very fast on high-end servers.
We tried running a production server on Fedora 5. I was very dissapointed on how unstable it is under heavy loads. Needless to say, we went back to 6.1.
I've been reading that there are some issues with shared IRQ setups. Since this doesn't apply to us, I don't know much about it.
I can't say enough good things about 6.1.

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
