Len, as I recall, likes a clean install. I have done it both ways. If you want to try the upgrade, you will need to re-mount the drives in the process. Use df to get all you need. For example: %df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 2064302 67364 1831794 4% / /dev/ad0s1f 912206 4 839226 0% /tmp /dev/ad0s1g 8258718 173966 7424056 2% /usr /dev/ad0s1e 8257742 56206 7540918 1% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc >From that information I make the following notes ad0s1a / ad0s1f /tmp ad0s1g /usr ad0s1e /var The swap is missing from the list, but it is easy to tell what partition is the swap when you have all the others. After it is done upgrading FreeBSD, then Sendmail will be running again. The solution is to manually edit things, or just upgrade your Postfix after the fact and it will fix things as it installs. --Eric
