I upgraded from 6.1.3.  No problems doing the upgrade other than the rpm had a
dependency on /bin/ksh.  I ignored the dependency and it installed OK.

I was having no problems before I upgraded and now I am having a slew of
problems.  I cannot clone an MS SQL saveset.  The box hangs when it mounts the
tape.  I don't know if it is something about that tape or the saveset, but
today I hope to have time to figure out what is happening.  And there are no
hints in the logs.  I guess I need to trace all of the nsr processes to see
what is going on when the box hangs.  Of course, it *could* be a hardware
problem and be coincidental, but somehow I doubt it.  And the box has hung
several other times when doing tape control.

Unfortunately, there is no going back.

*sigh*
