Even though freebsd-update reported it finished successfully, I could see that it failed to copy the kernel to /boot. After making some space on boot I re-ran freebsd-update install and thought it would perform the same actions, so this time it would work, however it didn't and the machine failed to boot after the update.
>How-To-Repeat: Upgrade from 9.2 to 10.0 with a full /boot drive via freebsd-update. >Fix: It would be nice if freebsd-update would check whether it fails to copy the data to /boot, so one could re-run the command again. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
