I'm looking at adding my first 5.x server onto our network, but am wondering how 'backward compatible' things are still ...

Mainly, could I run a 4.x jail'd environment on a 5.x server, or would I have to upgrade the jail first?

This option from the GENERIC kernel config in 5.4 would seem to suggest that it would work.... though I haven't tried it myself.

options         COMPAT_FREEBSD4         # Compatible with FreeBSD4

Long term goal is to move all boxes over to 5.x, but I can't do it all at once ... I also want to spend some time testing/making sure that 5.x will work in our environment, which means any jail's I move over to the server need to be able to be copied back again to a 4.x server if things don't work ... so leaving the jail environment itself "4.x" is prefer'd ...

Thanks ...
