Bumping the reported patchlevel isn't considered important enough to warrant building a new kernel. That there's no kernel changes doesn't mean that uname -a info is not updated. You are incorrect. The output of uname -a is taken from the kernel and cannot be updated without installing a new kernel. The good news is that FreeBSD 10 will ship with a new utility called freebsd-version which will provide a better way of identifying if your system is up to date. From the commit message: Introduce the /libexec/freebsd-version script, which is intended to be used by auditing tools to determine the userland patch level when it differs from what `uname -r` reports. This can happen when the system is kept up-to-date using freebsd-update and the last SA did not touch the kernel, or when a new kernel has been installed but the system has not yet rebooted. http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/bin/freebsd-version/ By the way, it will be /bin/freebsd-version as it has been relocated since the import into head. ___ 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

'freebsd-update upgrade' hosed system - rescuable?
I just updated to 8.0-RELEASE with freebsd-update. I ran: # freebsd-update -r 8.0-RELEASE upgrade merge config files # freebsd-update install I was told to reboot and run freebsd-update install again to complete the process. I rebooted into single user mode, mounted /usr and /var and somehow forgot to mount / as read-write. Of course, freebsd-update didn't check to see if it could actually write to all the directories it needed to write to first and catastrophically wrote half an upgrade (which it now appears to have deleted the source files for) and has broken my system (most of the stuff in /usr/bin now depends on libraries in /lib that were never written).
