I tried to upgrade from 5.1-RELEASE to 5_RELENG last night and hit big
problems with vinum. 5_RELENG in retrospect was an error I suspect, as
what I really wanted was 5.4-RELEASE.
The system has two mirrored disks, with Vinum used for the root
filesystem. make buildworld, make buildkernel and make installkernel
happened without complaint. But on rebooting vinum loaded, but failed to
load any volumes. Consequently the root filesystem didn't mount.
I ended up manually mounting ad0s1a, then in a desperate attempt to get
out of the situation
mount -u -w /
mount /dev/ad2s1a /root
cd /boot
mv kernel kernel.55
mv kernel.old kernel
cd /root/boot
mv kernel kernel.55
mv kernel.old kernel
reboot
To my surprise and relief this worked and I managed to get more or less
back to where I started.
But what do I need to do now to upgrade this system and have it actually
work?
For info, output of vinum dumpconfig below:
