Is it safe to upgrade DA server from CentOS 5.8 to 5.9 ?

Upgraded my openvz vps with DA 5.8->5.9 with no complications. Working few days now, no problem.

Take care about quota package. If your master-node is outdated, then you might run into an issue with disk quotas as soon as you upgrade to CentOS 5.9.

BZ#689822
Previously, quota utilities could not recognize the file system as having quotas enabled and refused to operate on it due to incorrect updating of /etc/mtab. This update prefers /proc/mounts to get a list of file systems with enabled quotas. Now, quota utilities recognize file systems with enabled quotas as expected.

I had only a problem with the quota package as Alex said.
There is a simple fix for it:

ln -s /dev/xvda2 /dev/root; /sbin/quotaoff -a; /sbin/quotacheck -avugm; /sbin/quotaon -a;

@Petertjuh360,

I guess you running a XEN VPS, don't you?
I've got no /dev/xvda2 in a OpenVZ container.

Indeed, it's a XEN VPS.
