Hi!
I'm having troubles updating a FreeBSD 3-stable system to current, since it has /usr
as a vinum volume. I've just updated about a dozen machines without any problems, but
none of them uses vinum.
Following the instructions in UPDATING, when rebooting to single user mode, vinum
wouldn't work since the kernel module was out of date - no surprise. So, I copied a
fresh vinum.ko in there and tried
again. This time, vinum loaded fine, but complained that it couldn't get the list from
disk (or similiar). A 'vinum list' command would show nothing. So, I tried rebooting
with the old 3-stable
kernel. When makeing installworld running the 3-stable kernel, make first installed
the make binary itself, and then could not do anything more, since the new libc was
not in place, and the just
installed make needed the new libc... odd? shall it really start by installing make?
dunno how this happened?
Anyway, what is a good strategy for upgrading a system where /usr is a vinum volume?
Any tips, tricks or ideas (apart from moving /usr to a non-vinum volume and install
onto that one).
Thanks
Palle
