[amd64] The FreeBSD kernel virtual address space has been increased to 6GB. This allows subsystems to use larger virtual memory space than before. For example, zfs(8) adaptive replacement cache (ARC) requires large kernel memory space to cache file system data, so it benefits from the increased address space. Note that the ceiling on the kernel map size is now 60% of the size rather than an absolute quantity. Various network interface drivers have been improved, including ae(4), ath_hal(4), axe(4), bce(4), cxgb(4), fxp(4), igb(4), jme(4), msk(4), mxge(4), nfe(4), re(4), rl(4), sis(4), and txp(4). Very specifically that I was getting watchdog time outs and link status up down up on the re nic driver, hopefully 7.2 solves this.

Re: updating from 7.1 to 7.2 AMD64
Are you suggesting a user should only upgrade if they are having a problem, or do you just like to contribute more nonsense to the list mostly yes - keep things as is if it works. and it's only nonsense for you. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: updating from 7.1 to 7.2 AMD64
I'd say it depends very much on the system's use. For a system which is in production (i.e. doing ongoing work), there is a great deal to be said for not fixing things that aren't broken. if they are not broken - there is nothing to fix. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I'd say it depends very much on the system's use. For a system which is in production (i.e. doing ongoing work), there is a great deal to be said for not fixing things that aren't broken. Even within a major release branch (7.0 = 7.1 = 7.2) it is not at all uncommon for a point release to introduce new problems along with its new capabilities. If that were not the case, there would be no need for the RE folks to maintain the security/errata branches. Suggesting that the OP consider the risks along with the benefits is hardly irrelevant to a question about upgrading. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
