Is there a place that states the releases? Is there an 8.1 or 8.2 out now that has even a new version of ZFS? > Have a look at the DESCRIPTION section of the freebsd-update(8) man page, which explains why you cannot upgrade to -STABLE using this utility. If you wish to upgrade from -RELEASE to -STABLE, the handbook covers the proper source-based upgrade procedure. Regards, -- Glen Barber
