If you are thinking of moving to 5.2.1, I encourage you to think carefully.
Our encounter (albiet brief) with 5.2.1 was pretty disasterous too. I'm camped at 5.1.2P2 and have no reason to move. Except for the occasional 5.2.1 floppy boot for the fiber channel diagnostics. ;-)
One day, i'd really like to see NetApp move to a user patchable OS. Anyone else?
What do you mean by this? Simply smaller patches to the binary you can install faster, or do you want to tinker with the source code?

I won't speak for anyone else, but I want to see remote updates. Those of us who colocate machines see many problems those with ready floppy access don't.

I mean, instead of running 5.1.2P1, P2, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, or D7 (deep breath) I'd like to run 5.1.2 with the patches i feel i'd like to have.
