Got it installed on 10.0-RC4 and everything looks good so far. Is there anything in particular you wanted us to test or should we just abuse it mercilessly as we would under normal use? No there are no specific usecases we are asking for right now. If you have some known bugs it would be good to check if they still exist. As usual with call for testers be carefull with your data and create backups before use and don't put it in production. > Also, I took the liberty of posting info on your CFT to the FreeBSD forums. Thought that might get a few more folks involved in the testing that would not have been otherwise. Hope that was okay. Thanks, the more feedback the better!
