I've made a few posts on the forums about how to upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3 as, for me, the process only differed slightly from the one-liner used to upgrade from 2.3RC to 2.3 final.
I've tested the upgrade on my 64-bit system running SMB & NFS on a hardware RAID controller and on a 32-bit VM running SMB on a software RAID 5 array. I did not test any other configs (although there have been several individuals on the forums who upgraded their systems). As always, make a backup before you try anything. Jason Litka | Xoxide, Inc.

I do not think to be the only one in this situation !
