Hi Since a while I notice on some 8.1-RELEASE machines that after a buildkernel and installkernel, besides the old kernel being moved to /boot/kernel.old, it also seems to get copied /boot/kernel.old1. I update most servers with freebsd-update which also update the sources from which the new kernel is being built. With ls -l I can see this kernel.old1 directory is no symlink nor the files in it are symlinks. Does anyone know why this is happening? A second question is why does is the output from du different for kernel.old1 like shown below? qa:/usr/src # du -h /boot/kernel.old1/ 41M /boot/kernel.old1/ qa:/usr/src # du -h /boot/ 24K /boot/defaults 2.0K /boot/firmware 41M /boot/kernel 2.0K /boot/modules 2.0K /boot/zfs 245M /boot/GENERIC 41M /boot/kernel.old 12K /boot/kernel.old1 329M /boot/ qa:/usr/src # uname -a FreeBSD qa.ose.nl 8.1-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p7 #4: Tue Jan 3 08:32:42 CET 2012 Freebee@qa.ose.nl:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/QA amd64 Thanks in advance.
