Well shouldn't the FreeBSD 5.4 release information state that it isn't recommended for machines with ATA drives? I really have no way of downgrading to 5.3 without losing a couple hundred customers over it. But with all these filesystem freezes I guess I will eventually lose them anyways. Without the acknowledgement of the bugs and proper bug tracking I doubt that these issues are going to get fixed in 5.5 or 6.1 either. It seems the ATA issues are being ignored. How can a release make it this far down the branch without fixing the good old ATA drive issues first?

I had a weird issue with a 5.3->5.4 upgrade a while back. My tape drive disappeared :(. I didn't have time to investigate, so I just backed down to 5.3, which works fine while I work up a schedule to migrate to 6.X. -- Anish Mistry _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
