Apparently Marc doesn't think FreeBSD 5 is stable enough to use yet.

(Having lit the touchpaper, I shall now retire to a safe distance ;-))

Well now I have to get into this ;). I would like to offer some lighter 
fluid
and state that this wouldn't have been a problem if we were using
RH-9 with Ext3 (or XFS).

Trust me, I'm soooooo looking forward to 5.x to be rated 'stable enough
for a production server' .. I spent a good portion of yesterday aft
chatting on the -current mailng list about how slow fsck was :(

I run 5.x on the computers here in the office, and have had the occasional
"freak reboot", so she's not quite there yet ... hopefully in the spring I
can take some time to start migrating over to it ...

Trust me, if I felt confident enough with it, we'd already be moved ...
after Xmas, hopefully be able to start with it ... *cross fingers*
They've done some major re-writes of the SMP code to improve performance
that I'd love to get running ...
