US Server upgrade

[timduru]

I will need to upgrade the US server OS, and also migrate each of the subservers it contains

Now with bigger jails and superblocks! (Sounds just like the US justice system . . .)

I noticed the multi-IP stuff, too. So now you can serve fursuits over IPv6 as well, if only there were anyone using IPv6? ;-)

hehe ;)
yeah, well I think those changes are for 7.2 actually, not stable yet :)
I'm upgrading to 7.1-R.
Should be good with that version until january 2011 :)

If everything goes well I'll upgrade wikifur's jail on Friday-Sat.
I'll keep it as the last one before the main system,
That way I hope I'll have encountered most of the problems with the other jails, and so wikifur's jail should go smoothly ;)

Ah . . . I saw the release announcement on Slashdot, so I presumed that was the one. I guess we will just have something to look forwards to, then! Not that it seems to have been a limitation so far.

I'll post an update in WikiFur's LJ shortly so people know what's up.

ah yep, it seems they released 7.2 as stable today *g* :)
Ah damn, that might explain why the fucking freebsd update servers are slow as hell ;)
not really the best time to do an upgrade *chuckles*

Thing is that 7.2 has shorter support, just 1 year compared to 7.1 which will run until 2011.
So unless you want to go for IPV6 and multiple IPs on jail , I'll upgrade to 7.1 :)
