Re: Issue With 7.0-Rel - 7.1-Rel Update
Anyone have any ideas on this? Or should I make a couple of backups (test them to confirm they're viable) and install v7.1 from scratch? Hmmm. There's actually a certain appeal to installing v7.1 from scratch. RHEL has the option of creating SoftRAID mirrors at install time (and later, of course). Does the FreeBSD installer have that capability, as well? If so, then I'll probably go that route even if there's a simple solution to the dilemma below; disk space has become so incredibly cheap that it's almost a mistake *not* to configure mirrors at this point. Either way, all pointers appreciated Thanks, Vince ** At 14:24 -0500 on 02/22/2009, Vince Sabio wrote: Hi folks, I am updating an AMD-based machine from v7.0-RELEASE to v7.1-RELEASE.

Does the FreeBSD installer have that capability, as well? If so, no it doesn't. but nobody force you to use installer at all.
