I am running a FreeBSD 4.0 box. I had never updated the ports collection,
so it just kind of stopped working over time.
This last week, I got sick of installing some things by src, so I wiped out
the ports collection, and did a cvsup to create a new, modern, up to date
ports collection.

I ran this on it apparently successfully (after booting from the 5.1 live
filesystem cd):

to use UFS2 along with all of the extended attributes, ACL's, etc. If
I use vinum on this system, will I still be able to use and take

OK...I've been running FreeBSD since 4.0...and I've always noticed
"installation" issues here and there. Mostly though, I've always been

I know I can run "portsnap extract sysutils/portupgrade" ...or something
to that effectbut that will not "register" say for a "portsnap
update" after a new "portsnap fetch". This is what I will get for an

At times when in a hurry or not thinking as fast as my fingers, I try
