I just read in another post about disklayout _____________________________________________________________ According to the manual as of 9.0-RELEASE the default fragment and block sizes for newfs are 4k and 32k, so provided your partitions/slices are 4k aligned everything Should Just Work. Before 9.0 fragments and blocks were 2k and 16k which doesn't play so well with 4k drives. ____________________________________________________________ I started thinking about the choices I have for upgrading my running 8.3 systems. I'm aware about of the procedure with freebsd-upgrade and rebuilding all ports according to man portmaster. Would you just do the upgrade or would you consider reinstalling? Would it be beneficial to make a fresh installation? Thanks /Leslie
