There are some good articles over at ONLamp.com about that (tar, pax, dump, restore, etc.). After that all I do is make buildworld in singleuser. Then I switch to single-user installworld and compile my kernel - this then gets installed and I just run make installworld DESTDIR=3D/kernel. This has caused no problems so far. You could try disabling the jails at startup (if you have them running by default) and just upgrade the host as per usual. Then you could tar the jails as a backup and make installworld after that - then just start them back up again. Neither of these has caused any problems for me. -lewiz. --=20 =2E.. My pants just went on a wild rampage through a Long Island Bowling Alley!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --|| url: http://lewiz.info/ | http://www.westwood.karoo.net/pgpkey ||-- --C7zPtVaVf+AK4Oqc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9u7P1Itq0KFQv7T8RAgzmAJ9b1dzhVkjuk1nC5GhklCxVikXyNwCfUCzh AWDztQC0rddkNH2Oef05xnY= =Sajx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --C7zPtVaVf+AK4Oqc-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
