I'm new to Opensolaris, having switched over my home NAS from FreeBSD to Opensolaris about 6 months ago because of ZFS and the stability of Opensolaris. As such, I'm not familiar with how Opensolaris development works, but find it incredible that a fix for such a bug is not released as a patch to the current stable release (2009.06), but instead users are asked to upgrade to a development release.
I tried upgrading to b118, which was supposed to have the fix. However, b118 did not even boot, and being new to Opensolaris, I was forced to format and reinstall 2009.06. Now I'm disinclined to upgrade to b124 (which supposedly has the CIFS fix) and will instead reboot my system on a daily basis when smb server hangs. Maybe the fix will be included in 2010.02? But I just feel that's not the way to deal with a bug like this - I cannot wait until February 2010 to have a stable system. Any comments/feedback on why Opensolaris development works this way is appreciated. Thank you. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ cifs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/cifs-discuss
