- I received a few replies, from which I learned that *all* VERIFY images
- (from 5.5, 5.5-1, and from known versions of CSCPAT#1001) have the same
- image-id of "X-12".

- Thanks a lot!

- So maybe, 5.5-1 is at least somewhat "better" than 5.5.
-
- What other caveats are known re 5.5-1?
- Could it suit a "production" environment, or will I have to wait for 5.5-2?
-
- The reason for asking is that I'm in bad need of DFO (disk defragger),
- but can't sacrifice stability, in particular in the area of batch jobs.
- Just an unclustered 9000-210, BTW.
