Just one question : You need some testing (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/todo.html) for example I see (the first) manual root mount lockmgr panics Needs testing but (maybe I'm little stupid), how can some standard users (like me) can we perform this testing if we don't know how do that ? I think it's great thing if (when it's possible of course) there some advice to tell how can we make this testing.
