After a rocky upgrade from 9.1-RELEASE(-p10) to 9.2-RELEASE, all files I checked are now in 9.2-RELEASE-p3. For example: /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh contains: TYPE="FreeBSD" REVISION="9.2" BRANCH="RELEASE-p4" /etc/hosts contains: # $FreeBSD: release/9.2.0/etc/hosts 109997 2003-01-28 21:29:23Z dbaker $ and the kernel contains the new version: # strings /boot/kernel/kernel | grep RELEASE|grep 9 @(#)FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p4 #0: Tue Apr 8 18:08:22 UTC 2014 FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p4 #0: Tue Apr 8 18:08:22 UTC 2014 9.2-RELEASE-p4 However, uname somehow shows the wrong version: # uname -a FreeBSD localhost.localdomain 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #0 r243825: Tue Dec 4 09:23:10 UTC 2012 root at farrell.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 So where does uname get the version number from? Which file(s) might not have been upgraded? Thank you!
