We have a number of RELENG_5 boxes in production. The ones with the highest load are acting as avscanners (clamav, amavisd) and spamscanners (SA) as well as one box for customers who enable TMDA on their mailboxes which can really get punished. No problems at all. These are busy boxes with all sorts of bursty and sometimes sustained loads thrown on them. They are mostly CPU bound, but often busy with disk IO as well. We are also starting to deploy our managed firewall boxes for our customers on RELENG_5 The only problem I have run into is nfsd failing on some bonnie++ tests. e.g. [3w-mobile]# bonnie++ -u root -s 4G -n 40 -d /mnt Using uid:0, gid:0.
