Re: Upgrade 6.4-stable to 7.3
Hi, I did a source upgrade on one box from 6.4 to 7.2 or 7.3 without any problems. I later did a source upgrade to 8.0 on the same machine just to find out that USB has some problems, I went then back to 7.3 on this machine. I also did some source upgrades from 7.x to 8.0 on some other machines without any problems.

Upgrade 6.4-stable to 7.3
I would like to upgrade a server that is currently running version 6.4 up to version 7.3 Having looked at /usr/src/UPDATING on a 7.3 machine, I don't see any major problems flagged. Given that I have console access to this machine, and I want to preserve the user directories (it's our mail server) would I be better off doing a source upgrade or a binary upgrade? In the past, I've usually done a wipe-and-reinstall when moving between major version numbers but I would rather avoid that this time around. Also, would people recommend staying with version 7.3 or jumping all the way to version 8.1 ?

Since you are running 6.4-STABLE, I think you will have to do a source upgrade.

You should probably do it in two steps though - first from 6.4 to 7.3 and then from 7.3 to 8.1 Just remember to make good backups first, just in case something goes wrong. (There should not be any serious problems involved - the source upgrades I have done from 6.x to 7.x and later from 7.x to 8.x were fairly uneventful - but you never know what might happen.) -- Insert your favourite quote here.

I did it all from source, and in two steps, once to 7-STABLE then once to 8-STABLE. It went fine in most cases. One thing i noticed though was some of the boxes were in dangerously dedicated disk layout. The dev tree in 6.x and 7.x had devices in the format of /dev/ad0a and /dev/ad0s1a. However 8.x only presented /dev/ad0a devices, like you would predict. Whoever origionally built the boxes had s1 type in the fstab which caught me out on a few of them. Not ideal on remote boxes. Other than that though the upgrades we nice and easy. Make sure you recompile all your ports though with something like portmaster. After you have done that do a make delete-old delete-old-libs and delete-old-dirs from usr/src, once your done to clean up the base distro. here's my mergemaster conf to speed things up a little if you aren't familier with it.
