I'm affraid Jason is right. A while ago, when Rafiu was helping me debug
an issue, we spoke about the upcoming 2.3 release.
Rafiu said that the upgrade from 2.2 -> 2.3 would be difficult, but
doable, and that docs were in the making.
I don't mind paying for support, if I would need it, but I also think
that it should be made possible for regular users to upgrade their box
themselves. A decent release document on how to proceed, and its
pitfalls, should be included with the release.
I cant imagine that we are going to be left in the dark with the
upcoming upgrade and that the only way of having the system upgraded
cleanly would mean shelling out a few hundred. Good for business, but
how is OF going to handle all the support requests within an acceptable
time?
A lot of people are waiting for 2.3 quite some time now. If it means
that it would need a more than average level of expertise, or that
people are risking stability problems or even loss of data, then I'm
affraid a number of them will leave OF for what it is and will go for
another solution (commercial or opensource)

Rafiu,
That is not what was said before. There are posts from you on the
forums stating that everyone would be able to upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3
with a simple “conary updateall”. No mention was made of needing to
pay for commercial assistance; if a single command really will
complete the upgrade then there should be no need for commercial
assistance.

I thought that the whole point of using rPath over CentOS was that it
made it easier to move from one version to the next without having to
reinstall. If not, this is the second time in as many years (possibly
third, depending on whether or not you installed 2.1b1) that those of
us loyal to the project will have to abandon their systems after
having installed stable versions of the software.

It kind of amazes me that the 2.3 beta upgrade discussion continues. I
am stuck with a partially functional 2.2 system (either I get iSCSI or
the IGB driver in kernel, I can't seem to get both, the current unpinned
kernel is stuffed from an IET perspective). I know beta users have both,
but they get to live with the prospect of upgrading after the final
release.
I have posted in every forum thread relevent, here in the mailing list
and on some third party forums with OpenFiler threads. Everyone who
replies has similar concerns but there is nothing but silence from those
in the know. A simple 'no you can't upgrade' is better than the current
silent treatment.
We'll provide instructions on upgrading from different 2.3x releases
and commercial assistance for folks wanting to move from 2.2 to 2.3.
