I have a server which I am considering upgrading from 4.11 to 6.2. Besides the
operating system disk (which contains all of the expected partitions such as /,
/usr, /var, and /tmp), There's a large data disk on the system containing
useful data that I'd like to put back online as soon as the upgrade is
completed. I'd rather not have to reformat it unless there is a significant
advantage to doing so. Does 6.2 work properly with the older disk format? Is
there any reason to take the time and effort to back up the data and restore it
to the new format? Is there anything I'll need to be careful about if I upgrade
just the system disk?

Brett,
Yes, 6.2 does but there are features that were added to UFS2 (softupdates,
file size limit raised past 2GB?) which make it a much better filesystem
infrastructure than UFS1.
