I just updated my systems to deal with the latest security bulletin. On the machines where I'm running zfs based boot environments I got the somewhat worrying: root@arthur:5# freebsd-update fetch install Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 10.1-RELEASE from update4.freebsd.org... done. Fetching metadata index... done. Fetching 2 metadata patches.. done. Applying metadata patches... done. Inspecting system... done. Preparing to download files... done. Fetching 8 patches..... done. Applying patches... done. Fetching 14 files... done. The following files will be removed as part of updating to 10.1-RELEASE-p2: / The following files will be updated as part of updating to 10.1-RELEASE-p2: [list snipped] Installing updates...rmdir: ///: Is a directory done. Fortunately it didn't remove /, although I really don't understand that message. -- Those who do not learn from computing history are doomed to GOTO 1
