I know of others who were running 7.3 samba servers, fedora destroyed it,
they gave up and reinstalled 7.3 and backups from tape, they have told me
they will not touch it again either.
Critical systems need to be tested before major upgrades like that. Just
upgrading to any new version of an OS can be problematic. This is nothing new
with Fedora. You need to test things first. Especially if your system has to
been working.
Who knows, you configuration could triger a bug that hasn't been seen before.
Anyone who rolls out major upgrades without testing first, deserves have
problems.
There were lots of problems with older upgrades of RedHat. RedHat 7.0 anyone?
As for upgrading, the fedora legacy project is still supporting RedHat 7.3. So
staying with RedHat 7.3 while you tested the new fedora setup only makes
sense.
I know RH engineers work on this
project, but the QC crew sure as hell dont, if they did FC1 WOULD be as
relaible and stable as previous RH's.
Well I know for a fact that the same group guys we send RHEL bugs to respond
to Fedora Bugs. Read the Fedora-test and Fedora-Devel list archives.
Frequiently you will see names like Alan Cox or Mike Harris.
regards,
I find this thread very interesting. We run several multiproc boxes on
FC1 without a hitch. I will say, I don't think any of them are overly
stressed, I like to over build when I have the chance.
Tyan MB with AMD chips, and Dell 2650's dual Intel Xeon w
hyperthreading.
We run the FC1 SMP kernels... Should I be looking for anything specific
to go wrong?
If it has not gone wrong yet, it probably won't.
