This sounds like the kind of thing "Release notes" were designed for. I was not able to find them on the first page of the FreeBSD website, but if you click the big "Get FreeBSD Now" button, there is a link in the table detailing the releases: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/relnotes.html > > I am backing up this system to another > system, so if I end up losing the data or having to rebuild > the > array, that's fine, it just sucks having to copy the 2TB of > data over the wire afterward. Good idea ;) FreeBSD no longer supports "dangerously dedicated" UFS filesystems (section 2.2.5 of Detailed release notes) but I'm not sure if that is possible with gmirror. > Thanks for your help! > > ++AMARU PS: Your reply to yourself was in the same digest message.
