I've successfully installed 2.0.5-R on one of my machines, and I must say, it's the best release to date - and I've used every one since 1.0. Congrats! Anyways, I am preparing to upgrade my main server. Can 2.0.5-R read my old (2.0-950322-SNAP) partitions? The reason I ask is because I don't really completely trust my tape drive, and I'd like to dump all of my old filesystems to a large scratch disk that I have on hand and then simply recreate my partitions and restore /usr/local and such. Of course, I could always experiment, but I'd prefer to avoid any unneccesary downtime. Any problems with this? Or is this a totally half-baked idea?
