I followed the procedure in the guide: freebsd-update fetch freebsd-update install reboot freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.2-RELEASE freebsd-update install reboot freebsd-update install reboot Now my kernel appears to have upgraded=2C because it contains the string 9.= 2-RELEASE: # strings /boot/kernel/kernel | grep RELEASE |grep 9 @(#)FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p3 #0: Sat Jan 11 03:25:02 UTC 2014 FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p3 #0: Sat Jan 11 03:25:02 UTC 2014 9.2-RELEASE-p3 However uname still shows 9.1: # uname -a FreeBSD localhost.localdomain 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #0 r243825: T= ue Dec 4 09:23:10 UTC 2012 root@farrell.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/s= rc/sys/GENERIC amd64 and other files such as /etc/hosts are NOT upgraded=2C because I added a co= mment in that file during the merging=2C but eventually the file does not c= ontain that comment. I can look at the temporary files under /var/db/freebsd-update/=2C the /var= /db/freebsd-update/install.*/INDEX-* contains the index to the upgraded fil= es together with their sha256 values=2C while the actually files are gzippe= d under /var/db/freebsd-update/files/ =2C yet all the files on the system s= till mated the old version. I even modified /etc/freebsd-update.conf to # Is FreeBSD Update allowed to create new files? AllowAdd yes # Is FreeBSD Update allowed to delete files? AllowDelete yes but it did not help. Also uname says it's 9.1-RELEASE #0 now. And freebsd-update fetch install c= an not update that version any more. I repeated upgrade procedure multiple times=2C now I get many lines of addi= tional error when running freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.2-RELEASE:=20 /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory one google search result suggested extract /usr/bin/install from the 9.1 of= ficial iso file and replace the one on the system. That indeed removed tha= t error. However=2C I still ended up with 9.1. And when repeating the upg= rade procedure I always get this "cannot open files/.gz" error. What else can I try to complete this upgrade? Thanks for your help. =
