I have tried: # mount -u / That's what I use. Try running fsck on it first. I didn't try fsck -- it's a gjournal, so shouldn't need it, and had definitely been unmounted cleanly anyway -- but I did try -f which should have forced the upgrade even if it had needed a fsck. Still no upgrade, and no messages. What finally worked was to reboot, and do the upgrade before anything else (still without fsck, confirming that that was not the problem). There is pretty clearly some kind of bug involved. Perhaps there was a legitimate reason for the upgrade to fail, but it surely should not have failed _silently_. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
upgrading the root FS to read-write
After booting 8.1-RELEASE single-user, what must I do to upgrade the root FS mount from read-only to read-write? I have tried: # mount -u -o rw / # mount -u / # mount -u -w / and even # mount -u -w /dev/mirror/gm0a.journal / I don't get any error messages, but the FS remains read-only. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
