[-- Attachment #1 --] So I have a dual-Opteron system I have been testing for the last couple of months w/ FreeBSD 5.2.x-REL/amd64 code. As the box is about ready to be put into production as a storage/DB server, and as I have been catching up on mail from the amd64 list from the past week, I do have some concerns: - RELENG_5_2 or .? I have a particular aversion to running -CURRENT code on production systems. But reading the fixes the the stack alignment code that Peter Wemm did here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-amd64&m=107981757401261&w=2 and the lack of responses to my pending issues with make buildworld, makes it seem that most everyone here is running -CURRENT. How stable is it at the moment...? (one would assume O'Brien's latest snapshot ISO's are fine in this regard) I just have a aversion to 4-6 months down the line having to recompile all my ports ;) - VLAN support - BTW, in case anyone needed to know, adding vlan support to the kernel, then activating it on a network interface, causes ifconfig to panic (at least in 5.2.1-REL). Dunno if anyone else has tried it yet or not in -CURRENT... Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide (I will probably file the VLAN issue as a bug report if it hasn't already been fixed in -CURRENT) -Peter -- Peter_Losher@isc.org | ISC | OpenPGP Key E8048D08 | "The bits must flow" [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBAaE4UPtVx9OgEjQgRAm2+AJ0ZvyQ7kHFeTLUmSsBq/dhsEelAVgCfeNgb hl61eUjaxQ0eXsr+TfB9RRc= =x8/q -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----home | help
