One of our box at data center using FreeBSD 7.2-p6 and after that we don't have any plan to upgrade the FreeBSD since everything works well without errors. Our implementation using Jails is perfect and work like a load balancing inside the FreeBSD. PF work as the firewall and load balancer with Apache.
Using freebsd-update upgrade is easy, once your enter the command everything will work with order and you can relax and take a cup of coffee while waiting the process upgrade.
1) Suddenly we got some problem when tried to upgrade the 3rd party package with portupgrade when at the end some error appeared.
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libcrypt.so.4" not found, required by "httpd"
[: -eq: argument expected
Searching around found some solution to install compat7x from /usr/ports/misc
http://goo.gl/wwxpq
2) Once the libs problem solved, another problem came up. pkgdb.db is not recognized!
/var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db: unexpected file type or format
Google around I found some convincing solutions that can be implemented :)
