I have a 1.1.5.1 system here with 14 SCSI disks on it that I need to move to 2.0.5 (I have actually started and have 2.0.5 installed and limping :-(). First, is there some easy way to make 2.0.5 happy with the 1.1.5.1 disks? All of these disks were created with only FreeBSD on them. Whenever I attempt to access them I get numerous slice warnings/errors. Second, assuming I can get the partitioning sorted out w/o trashing the data on them, is the 2.0.5 ufs file system compatible with the 1.1.5.1 ufs? I know that symlinks have changed? Do the 1.1.5.1 symlinks work in 2.0.5? Finally, I've had some problems installing 2.0.5-ALPHA on the two systems that I have tried it on. Perhaps the most annoying one is that the extraction will hang if I try to install alot (like ``Everything'' or ``X-developers''). A minimal install didn't seem to have this problem. I don't believe its a network problem since I was doing an ftp install from another system here on my local ethernet, and the network was still fine. The most recent hang was during (at the end of?) installing compat20. I also had hangs while installing X-windows (I didn't install X-windows this last time, hoping to avoid the hang.) I also noticed that some of the X-windows packages could not be installed (seemed to be not found, perhaps a naming error).
