Re: Help For upgrading Releng4.11 stable to 6.0 stable
If memory serves me right, Ralf S. Engelschall wrote: Directly jumping from 4 to 6 might work similar to the 4 to 5 procedure but I've never tried this. No. Source-upgrading to 6.X can only be done from 5.3-RELEASE (or newer RELENG_5). So somebody trying to do a source upgrade from 4.X needs to do it in two steps. But in general for such a large upgrade I'd strongly urge backing up all data, wiping the disk(s), and reinstalling + restoring. (For what it's worth, I specifically recommended this in the 5.X Early Adopters Guide.) Cheers, Bruce. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Yes, but if you look at my 4 to 5 upgrade procedure in detail you will see that it isn't just a straight-forward build from source approach. It actually uses a rather strange but necessary overwrite the running system with new binaries and then rebuild from source approach. And I'm still not seeing why this wouldn't work for a direct 4 to 6 upgrade. This upgrade approach is far away from being pretty and elegant, of course. But it allows one to fully remotely upgrade a FreeBSD box without access to the console and single user mode (which was the hard problem I had to circumvent). And I still think it could be adapted for a direct 4 to 6 jump, although I cannot recommend doing this approach if it can be avoided. But in general for such a large upgrade I'd strongly urge backing up all data, wiping the disk(s), and reinstalling + restoring. (For what it's worth, I specifically recommended this in the 5.X Early Adopters Guide.) Sure, at least if someone wants UFS2 this is the only possibility at all AFAIK... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]Ralf S.
