X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 04 Nov 2005 16:50:36 -0000 Most notably amongst the improvements/additions to 6.0-RELEASE, are those in the filesystem area. In performing a system upgrade, does one need to newfs/format a given partition with a new file system to make use of these optimizations, or is the bonus simply in the kernel/filesystem support and sticking with the current UFS2 partition (5.3-RELEASE/amd64) will step-up to it? -- Nathan Vidican nvidican@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/
