Probably, the T5220 is now running 105400-04 whereas unstable10x is still running 147441-19.
Should I update the x86 machines also? My impression is to patch as less as possible to
not introduce new linker symbol anomalies. The patch on the farm was needed to fix an ugly
bug in zfs which prevented us from doing backups, so no option of not installing ;-)


Best regards
