It seems to work quite a lot better an my nforce3-250 based system than 5.4. With one exception: I used to mount /data/src-5.4 onto /usr/src with unionfs on 5.4. Any write attempt under 6.0 causes reboot (I tried to rename a file in /sys/amd64/conf/ ). I changed the setup to nullfs. This works. But: I really hope that unionfs works some day. I love the idea of having a writable file system laid over a read-only one. IMHO this would scale much easier than softupdates on file systems where most files don't change often. -- Dipl.-Math.
