We have a pair of 630s that we've been trying to cluster for about 15 months. Downtime is that hard to schedule.
We are upgrading to a pair of 760s, already clustered, hopefully next weekend.
Because the upgrade from 5.X to 6.0 is lengthy (~ 1 hour i have heard) we are considering upgrading the pair to 6.0 before the move, otherwise it might be many months before I can schedule a downtime of even that hour.
versions that are "anything.0" are always treated by me as ... suspect ... so I am looking for comments/experience on the stability of 6.0 - while i know that we can back out, i'm going to be lynched if the new filers turn out to be unstable.
