Please reboot and run "/usr/sbin/freebsd-update install" again to finish installing updates. OMG! Rebooting would likely have been fatal at that point. And yes, my root FS was full: olympia# df -k Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 507630 487372 -20352 104% / devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc /dev/ad0s1e 507630 18608 448412 4% /tmp /dev/ad0s1f 34443364 1377450 30310446 4% /usr /dev/ad0s1d 1469326 1057210 294570 78% /var /dev/ad4s1d 946031670 820026292 50322846 94% /bigvol1 After cleaning up root (had some old kernels hanging around) and re-running the install everything was fine. Since "freebsd-update install" knows how much space is needed for the new kernel, could it not check for adequate space up-front? (Same holds true for most other files, too.) >How-To-Repeat: Fill up root filesystem. Run freebsd-update install. See failures yet claims of success. >Fix: Ensure adequate disk space prior to running freebsd-install. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
