I'm in the same boat as you (upgrading a headless 1.6.2 system.) The
only reason I'm thinking about re-installing is that I want to use
UFS2 on the disks.
So I'm adding the following questions to this discussion: When
upgrading from 1.6.2 to 2.0, is there an easy way to change the
filesystem to UFS2? Does the UFS2 support pulled from FreeBSD include
the filesystem snapshot support?
Thanks
