Hi everyone, It's the first time I'm using freebsd-update to upgrade my system to a new release. I just upgraded the base system from 7.1-RELEASE to 7.2-RELEASE and everything went fine. I now wanted to upgrade my jails to the new release but freebsd-update is telling me that's already updated... freebsd-update -b /usr/jail/mysql/ upgrade -r 7.2-RELEASE freebsd-update: Cannot upgrade from 7.2-RELEASE to itself I understand that the jails are sharing the kernel and that freebsd-update must be verifying the version of the kernel. So I tried to just fetch install the update in the jail. freebsd-update -b /usr/jail/mysql/ fetch install Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 6 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 7.2-RELEASE from update5.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching metadata index... done. Inspecting system... done. Preparing to download files... done. No updates needed to update system to 7.2-RELEASE-p0. No updates are available to install. Run '/usr/sbin/freebsd-update fetch' first. I already used the -b option to update my jails with security updates, but never to a new release. What am I doing wrong? Thanks everyone for sharing! Martin
