What do you want to hear? "Yes, all will be fine" ? There's never such guarantee. If it means that much to you, MAKE A GOOD BACKUP. And be prepared to restore it. And if the machine really can't be offline for some hours, you should have a fallback machine anyway which you could use to test it on. cheers, Ruben _______________________________________________ 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"
