Hi,
I'm running FreeBSD version 8.0 x64 edition on my server with multiple
jails.
< Detail deleted>
Can anyone help with my issues??
8.0 is too old, November 2009
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/
8.0 Is not supported.
http://www.freebsd.org/security/security.html#sup
My machine ceased to crash when I moved from 8.0 to 8.2,
I seem to recall other problems eased too.
So upgrade to at least 8.1 !
If you management are saying stay at `proven' 8.0 rather than 8.2,
think again.
It's well known that .0 releases can be problematic, which is I
recall why 8.1 has extended support (even beyond 8.2), useful for
those who don't want to keep upgrading.
Yes, 9.0-RC2 is available for test for those wanting new features,
not for you if you'r still on 8.0. One would expect less stability
from 9.0-RC2 than 8.0.& no more from 9.0 than 8.0, so go for 8.1
or 8.2 then wait for 9.1 not 9.0.
Cheers,

How is the upgrade of versions done?
I'm sorry I've never done it before; from my linux experience on Debian
at least it's a bit messy.
I found this:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html
So I'm guessing - backup /etc, /var, /usr/local/etc, and /usr/local/var
then do:
freebsd-update -r 8.2-RELEASE upgrade
freebsd-update install
shutdown -r now
freebsd-update install
# portupgrade -f ruby
# rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db
# portupgrade -f ruby18-bdb
# rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db /usr/ports/INDEX-*.db
# portupgrade -af
freebsd-update install
How will this affect my Jails though? Will I need to rebuild them also?
I mean how will I know if everything is the same as before the upgrade
but obviously just newer?
Sorry, short of time here, so in brief:
This the wrong list to ask about upgrades.
Read http://www.freebsd.org
I dont personaly keep up to date with latest fancy BSD-specific
update scripts (as I've been doing Unix decades,& by reflex
make all of src/& ports/ that I use, but certainly back up etc
& var first )
Others may have more time to add info, but better ask on hackers@
(or questions@ re upgrades)
I would guess jails from 8.0 would survive on 8.2, Try on a spare box.
This actually looks kinda like an INDEX issue.
# make -C /usr/ports fetchindex
should fix it. Also, since portupgrade is unmaintained, may I suggest
getting to know portmaster....
Chris
I tried that and it didn't help :-(
I also just performed a version upgrade to 8.2 and still get the same
errors?
After running portsnap fetch; portsnap update; then portupgrade -a I get
these errors:
