<p>This errata document contains ``late-breaking news'' about FreeBSD 5.5-RELEASE. Before

installing this version, it is important to consult this document to learn about any
|
|
post-release discoveries or problems that may already have been found and fixed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Any version of this errata document actually distributed with the release (for
|
|
example, on a CDROM distribution) will be out of date by definition, but other copies are
|
|
kept updated on the Internet and should be consulted as the ``current errata'' for this
|
|
release. These other copies of the errata are located at <a
|
|
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/"

mirrors of this location.</p>

<p>Source and binary snapshots of FreeBSD 5-STABLE also contain up-to-date copies of this

|
|
|
|
<p>(24 May 2006) The NFSv4 client in 5.5-RELEASE is an unfinished prototype, and there
|
|
are a number of issues with it (many documented in the FreeBSD GNATS database) that make
|
|
it unusable in many situations. Given the state of 5-STABLE development, it is unlikely
|
|
that these will be resolved on this development branch.</p>
