X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: pawel garbowski List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 18 Dec 2004 19:09:19 -0000 Hello, I've been using 4.X branch for production servers. Yesterday I bought box in datacenter with RAID 1 controller and operators in DC set up FreeBSD 5.X for me (instead 4.X i asked) because they have troubles with set up RAID controller runing on 4.X. I have two options: Posting with Datacenter and try to convince them to make RAID 1 running on 4.X (I found on freebsd-hardware list that 3ware 7006-2 controller runing fine). or Runing production server (Apache, Mysql, Postfix + ATA RAID 1) on 5.X. I would like to know your opinion about 5.3-STABLE for this pourpose. I googled some and found that it isn't good idea but all those opinions was pretty old (related for ex. to older BETA version of 5.X branch) kind regards, -- Pawel
