[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I'd like to patch a production server, with about 10 jails, running FreeBSD 6.0 Release, in order to get FreeBSD 6.0-p6. Since this server is being hosted on a remote location, rebooting in single-user mode before doing the installworld requires me to move to the hosting center. Documentation mentions that a reboot in single-user mode is necessary. But on the opposite, /usr/src/UPDATING says: > Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that > you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. Since this is no "major release upgrade", does that mean I can do the installworld in multi-user mode? I have tested that on a smaller test server yesterday evening, I have even done the installworld in running jails, and it worked just fine. Was I lucky maybe? Does anyone have a definitive guide to update FreeBSD correctly? Here is what I did: ---------- 1) Cleaning > cd /usr/obj > chflags -R noschg * > rm -rf 2) Buildworld & Kernel > cd /usr/src > make buildworld (/usr/src/UPDATING mentions we should avoid the -j option) > make kernel KERNCONF=<MY_KERNEL_CONF> 4) When doing a major release upgrade: > reboot in single-user mode > fsck -p > mount -u / > mount -a -t ufs > swapon -a > adjkerntz -i 6) Installworld > cd /usr/src > mergemaster -p > make installworld > mergemaster 7) Update jail1 > mergemaster -p -D /usr/jails/my_jail1 > make installworld DESTDIR=/usr/jails/my_jail1 > mergemaster -D /usr/jails/my_jail1 8) Update jail2 > mergemaster -p -D /usr/jails/my_jail2 > make installworld DESTDIR=/usr/jails/my_jail2 > mergemaster -D /usr/jails/my_jail2 9) Reboot ---------- Regards, ---------------------------------- Philippe Lang, Ing.
