Title: What version should I use? 6.0. 6.01, 7??
Post by: pwgsc1 on December 29, 2005, 02:33:59 PM

Hey Folks,  

Got to rebuild a Server for a client that lost a mirrored sata drive.  Just wondering what version should I be using?  6.0, 6.01, 6.5RC1 7.0..lots of options.  

He doesn't do anything fancy with the server, it's pretty much a file server with mirrored data drives, monitored UPS and a few contribs added but nothing crazy.

My concern is that I have an upgrade path to 7 without having to rebuild and  that the sata mirroring works, I believe their was a version that had a bug.

Thanks,

Craig

By default, I believe SME 7 is the only version that supports SATA drives.  
Remember, this is still in beta status.

Hi,

  I would seriously consider using SME7BETA.  There seems to be a committment to ensure that any version BETA8 and above will upgrade properly to the final version which is comforting.

  However.... I would take extra precautions with your data.... and run a second system that is purely for testing.
