Hoi ;) I'm still bugged by this 3.x -> 4.x upgrade. I've succeeded in building world using the following CVSup file; *default host=cvsup.nl.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all But then, installworld (which is advised to do before rebuilding a kernel by the handbook) fails with: ===> gnu/usr.bin/as install -c -s -o root -g wheel -m 555 as /usr/libexec/aout install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 as.1aout.gz /usr/share/man/man1aout ===> gnu/usr.bin/ld install -c -s -o root -g wheel -m 555 ld /usr/libexec/aout install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 ld.1aout.gz /usr/share/man/man1aout ===> gnu/usr.bin/perl ===> gnu/usr.bin/perl/libperl install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 libperl.a /usr/lib install: libperl.a: No such file or directory *** Error code 71 Stop. *** Error code 1 Not that I let that stop me. Oh no. I figured that it had installed quite a lot if not enough ;-), so I just went ahead and recompiled generic using /usr/src:make buildkernel KERNEL=GENERIC. Again, building went fine, but installing failed. This time for a logical reason. When I first installed the 3.x system, I let the installer decide on partition sizes. It gave me; Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 30 28 0 99% / procfs 0 0 0 100% /proc /dev/da0s1f 1810 900 764 54% /usr /dev/da0s1e 29 10 16 39% /var And this should also explain why my installkernel fails; I ran outta diskspace. :( Short question: Is there any way I can resize that /dev/da0s1a by snooping bytes off /dev/da0s1f without losing allocated data?
