Personally, I'm waiting for this one to cook a little longer (safely hiding behind 7.2.5.1p6). If you're already running 7.2.6 I'd say there isn't a lot of downside for you to upgrade, in fact I'd recommend it as there are some pretty nasty panic situations that might affect you. (see below)
1. Bug ID 267622: This can panic the storage controller during boot if an error causes a not-fully-initialized syslogd to need to report the problem, and/or if any of the following conditions match: -Lookup of a hostname specified in the /etc/syslog.conf file fails -The root volume is full -The /etc/syslog.conf file is misconfigured and contains invalid entries
2. Bug ID 318070: This affects only FAS270 systems with expansion shelves using ESH4 modules and where there are issues or configuration changes with those shelves. This results in a panic of the FAS270 storage controller.
3. Bug ID 324637: Under some circumstances, if a file with Windows NT ACL (access control list) is opened for overwrite by a CIFS client on a storage controller, it can cause a panic. This requires a high load on the system for quotas to be enabled, and for a Windows NT ACL to be associated with the file that is opened for overwrite by a CIFS client. Due to the high load, the Windows NT ACL buffer could potentially be recycled before it is used, leading to a panic.

Has anyone deployed 7.2.6.1?
It is GD but wanted to get some feedback - I had a lot of problems with 7.2.6 but it resolved my backup pains so I didn't down grade.
Thanks.
