Not an "upgrade", but a fresh binary install after newfsing the system partitions. A remaining planning issue is that I have a pre-GEOM vinum data volume on other disks. The handbook mentions gvinum retaining the same disk metadata. Does this mean that I should be able to mount that 4.11 vinum volume after 6.2 and gvinum is installed on the system disk? Anything I should watch out for? Thanks, -Jed
