Hi Folks,
Some questions re: FreeBSD installs.
I've just installed 4.1 from the CD-Rom dated August. Is that considered
the "stable"? We installed the "X with kernel sources" selection
with no extras save linux and 3.2 binary compatability.
During the install the disk format routine would only allow 4 partitions
(9gb SCSI on adaptec 2940) - anything further was given the device entry
"X"
After boot and kernel rebuild (for dual cpus ), we can't mount the
CDROM for
additional package installs (from /stand/sysinstall) - we get the error
- "bad super block"
We have several FreeBSD systems, now spanning 3.2->4.1. I'm curious what
schemes people are using to keep a group of systems updated as
painlessly
as possible. There are 3 fronts: The system software, the packages and
the ports that we'd like to be able to keep synced among the systems.
What has been successful?
thanks,
hurf
