I know plenty people (including myself having a 4-box serving nfs; well because asr0 is slow on 5 and 6 is not a option due to rpc.lockd) who have already, plan to or are in the process of upgrading from 4 to 6. Work on 7 should not stop. I think we all have lessons learned from 5. On the other hand: freebsd is work in progress... C'mon guys :-D I think indeed we should make 6 a better 4, just as folks from re@ continue to state. Just my opinion though. Regards, Robert
