upgrade from 6.3 to 7.0 problems
Hello, I have a botched upgrade from 6.3-release to 7.0-release on my hands. The 'make buildworld', 'make buildkernel' and 'make installkernel' went fine. 'Make installworld' did not - I think I forgot to drop into single-user mode but did not keep good notes. uname -a: FreeBSD server.shiner.ca 7.0-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p5 #0: Tue Oct 14 10:16:32 CDT 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Here is a hint of the problem (there is a bad duplex to clean up , which is my next task): server# gmirror remove gm0 ad3 Userland and kernel parts are out of sync. I cannot install the world in single-user mode: # cd /usr/src # env -i make installworld mkdir -p /tmp/install.9f0tXCFc for prog in [ awk cap_mkdb cat chflags chmod chown date echo egrep find grep install-info ln lockf make mkdir mtree mv pwd_mkdb rm sed sh sysctl test true uname wc zic; do cp `which $prog` /tmp/install.9f0tXCFc; done cd /usr/src; MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj MACHINE_ARCH=i386 MACHINE=i386 CPUTYPE= GROFF_BIN_PATH=/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/bin GROFF_FONT_PATH=/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/share/groff_font GROFF_TMAC_PATH=/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/share/tmac PATH=/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/sbin:/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/bin:/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/games:/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/sbin:/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/bin:/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/games:/tmp/install.9f0tXCFc make -f Makefile.inc1 reinstall -- Making hierarchy -- [snipped, no errors] -- Installing everything -- cd /usr/src; make -f Makefile.inc1 install === share/info (install) === lib (install) === lib/csu/i386-elf (install) /usr/local/libexec/ccache/world-cc -O -pipe -I/usr/src/lib/csu/i386-elf/../common -I/usr/src/lib/csu/i386-elf/../../libc/include -Wsystem-headers -Wall -Wno-format-y2k -W -Wno-unused-parameter -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wreturn-type -Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings -Wswitch -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wunused-parameter -Wchar-subscripts -Winline -Wnested-externs -Wredundant-decls -Wno-pointer-sign -c crt1.c *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/lib/csu/i386-elf. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/lib. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 I tried to rebuild the world from scratch by following these instructions from handbook section 24.4: chflags –R noschg /usr/obj/usr rm –rf /usr/obj/usr cd /usr/src make cleandir make cleandir cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster ./mergemaster.sh –p cd /usr/obj chflags –R noschg * rm –rf * cd /usr/src env –i make buildworld env –i make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel env –i make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel reboot in single-user fsck –p mount –u / mount –a –t ufs swapon –a adjkerntz –i cd /usr/src env –i make installworld mergemaster reboot This is the result: everything ok up to this step server#env -i make buildworld -- World build started on Tue Oct 14 11:42:00 CDT 2008 -- -- Rebuilding the temporary build tree -- [snipped, no errors] -- stage 1.1: legacy release compatibility shims -- cd /usr/src; MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp INSTALL=sh /usr/src/tools/install.sh PATH=/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/sbin:/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/bin:/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/games:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin WORLDTMP=/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp MAKEFLAGS=-m /usr/src/tools/build/mk -m /usr/src/share/mk make -f Makefile.inc1 DESTDIR= BOOTSTRAPPING=602000 -DWITHOUT_HTML -DWITHOUT_INFO -DNO_LINT -DWITHOUT_MAN -DWITHOUT_NLS -DNO_PIC -DWITHOUT_PROFILE -DNO_SHARED -DNO_CPU_CFLAGS -DNO_WARNS legacy === tools/build (obj,includes,depend,all,install) /usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/src/tools/build created for /usr/src/tools/build cd /usr/src/tools/build; make buildincludes; make installincludes rm -f .depend CC='/usr/local/libexec/ccache/world-cc' mkdep -f .depend -a -I/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/legacy/usr/include /usr/src/tools/build/dummy.c mkdep: compile failed *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/tools/build. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. Blech. I've floundered about without success. How can I clean up this mess? All comments and thoughts welcome. I have not tried a binary upgrade. Will re-install but as a last option. Many thanks, Cam
Re: upgrade from 6.3 to 7.0
*Hi again * *This is a database server. I checked the port tree and saw that all of them are updated except for mysql. Some list members have commented that upgrading freebsd 6.2 to 7.0 stable may result in port conflicts and installing the entire ports hierarchy rather than upgrading them would be a better solution. However, it is necessary to compile them again after installing the ports and this might result in conflicts with the sources or dependencies of previous packages. I will test all these options.* On Sun, Jul 27, 2008 at 5:59 AM, Jerry McAllister [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 09:25:12PM -0400, David Gurvich wrote: You should not do the upgrade, Whatever would cause you to give such poor advice? though you can.

You should not do the upgrade, though you can.

On Friday 25 July 2008, tethys ocean wrote: I ve got 6.3 stable database server. Can i directly upgrade my server from 6.3 to 7.0 Sure. Be prepared to rebuild and/or reinstall all your ports/packages and follow the other guidelines in src/UPDATING and other documentation. *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6 That's 6-STABLE.. *default release=cvs tag=. ..and that's 8-CURRENT. You probably want tag=RELENG_7 (7.0-STABLE) or RELENG_7_0 (7.0-RELEASE + security fixes). and also may i add ZFS to my server if such kind of update succsessfull. is it possible or not and advantage and disadvantage. Since ZFS in FreeBSD is still experimental you should do a lot of testing and otherwise keep that in mind. For many loads and with the right tuning (see the wiki) it works fine. Advantages and disadvantages are many but a useful response depends on your goals. Why do you think ZFS would be a good thing for this server?

It's quite possible to go from RELENG_6 to 7.0-RELEASE via the traditional csup/buildworld cycle. Take a backup, as *always*. If the machine is remote, have someone prepared to go there ASAP if there is a problem. Be sure and mergemaster -p. However, I don't recall much trouble ... aside from rebuilding all ports. In some cases, 'twas easier to make deinstall and then rebuild or even pkg_add.
