Personally I have a -current partition (slice) that I keep up to date, and an 8-stable'ish slice that I purposely keep in a known-good state, and only update if -current has been running good for a while (which it has more often than not in the last several years). I have both slices set up to share data such as /home, my cvs and svn trees, etc. This has worked really well for me (and others, I originally got the idea and some of my configuration from David Wolfskill) for over a decade. hth, Doug _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
