How/where should we be reporting such bugs? I reported a *very* easy to
reproduce hang situation with unionfs in BETA1 (and have
updated/retested as I see commits going through) over a week ago, and
the biggest 'interest' I got out of it was from Robert Watson giving me
suggestions on other stuff to provide :(
The BUGS section of mount_unionfs(8) still applies -- I was primarily
interested in whether the problem you experienced occurred in the absense
of a documented broken feature, which it turned out noto. I suggest you
see if you can interest Jeff Roberson in the problems, as they're most
likely a result of VFS locking changes. I know he's done quite a bit of
work to get nullfs working better, and likely the changes to nulfs also
need to be propagated and merged into unionfs.

Announcement
------------
The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the
availability
of FreeBSD 6.0-BETA2.
Because suitable pre-build packages are not widely available (see the
Known Issues section below) BETA2 only has disc1 and bootonly ISOs
available, and there are no FTP install trees.
We encourage people to help with testing so any final bugs can be
identified
and worked out. Availability of ISO images is given below. If you have
an older system you want to update using the normal CVS/cvsup source based
upgrade the branch tag to use is RELENG_6 (though that will change for the
Release Candidates later). Problem reports can be submitted using the
send-pr(1) command.
The list of open issues and things still being worked on are on the
todo list:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/todo.html
Since this is the first release of a new branch we only have a rough
idea for some of the dates. The current rough schedule is available
but most dates are still listed as "TBD - To Be Determined":
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/schedule.html
Known Issues
------------
Prebuilt packages are not available at this time due to the recent bump
of shared library version numbers. The installation procedure will
fail to install things normally present as packages (e.g. perl). There
is a full ports tree available so you can build anything you want to
use from that.
Availability
------------
The BETA2 ISOs are available on most of the FreeBSD Mirror sites. A list
of the mirror sites is available here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html
