Thanks Robert. This is what I have done in the past, and all went well. Just thought there might be some progress in Major version to major version upgrades that I have not read about. I need to reask this question though: I have a build of 8.0 ready to deploy. Does anyone know of any big issues that are addressed in 8.1, making it worth wating for (when its released that is)? -Grant ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Huff" <roberthuff@rcn.com> To: "Grant Peel" <gpeel@thenetnow.com> Cc: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Sunday, June 27, 2010 11:02 AM Subject: Updating > > Grant Peel writes: > >> What would be the prefered method of upgrading servers from >> freebsd 6.x to 8.x ? >> >> Fresh install and reload users data, rebuild ports etc? > > This. > Safer, expecially if you install to a clean disk. > Possibly less time. > Definitely less hassle (once you get the initial installation > done). > > > > Robert Huff > > > Thanks Robert.
