Most of userlad programs crashed early, including > csh, ls and even sh... You simply didn't read /usr/src/UPDATING note, added on 2003-11-12. It starts with: "The statfs structure has been updated with 64-bit fields". There's a *DANGER* section below and if You fail to do it as it's written there, You'll very likely fail with crashing applications and non-functional system. I did 5.1->5.2 remote (ssh only) upgrade yesterday without any fancy `tar -C /usr/tmpfs -cpf . | tar -C / -xpvf' constructions. -- Łukasz Bromirski lbromirski:mr0vka,eu,org
