Hmmm thats probably it then. Most of our users have been using Windows 7 and
people put their machines on standby when they leave the office for the day.
Maybe this is why we've had issues and having to restart on a daily basis. It
works fine during the day with no downtime.
Is it safe to update to the latest dev version? I know it creates a BE and we
can revert to 2009.06 later but is there a way of just updating ZFS instead of
downloading 800Mb more and updating the entire OS?
Cheers,
Em
