All,
I'm foregoing the formal pretty announcement for 6.1-RC2 because the
message needs to get out and I don't have an hour to spend on making it
look nice.
FreeBSD 6.1-RC2 is available for download. This is the last RC before
the release. Please test it to make sure that there have been no
regressions since the last RC, and to make sure that it there are no
new problems with installation. Other than a few cosmetic tweaks,
there will be no more changes before 6.1.
The list of known issues:
- Using UFS snapshots and quotas at the same time can cause system
lockups. There is no work-around available at this time, so please
avoid this configuration. This will be fixed in a future release.
- Under rare and heavily loaded circumstances, there is a possibility
to leak pty's. This can result in not being able to long into the
system. The cause of this is not well understood, and it appears to
be very difficult to trigger it.
- DEVFS is known to have several problems with multiple processes
doing directory listings at the same time, as well as with unmounting
DEVFS directories at the same time. There is no known work-around
for this at this time. This will be fixed in a future release.
- A number of improvements and fixes for various drivers have come
in at the last minute that still require much more testing and
validation. This includes the 'if_nve' and 'if_bge' drivers in
particular. These updates will be included in future releases.
