So the question is back to the beginning: I installed 9.1-RELEASE, then binary upgraded to 9.2-RELEASE using freebsd-update. Now all files I checked are correctly in 9.2-RELEASE-p4. For example: 1. 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 2. /etc/hosts contains 9.2: # $FreeBSD: release/9.2.0/etc/hosts 109997 2003-01-28 21:29:23Z dbaker $ We have verified that: 1. I never compiled kernel, and do not have /usr/src and /usr/obj folders now. 2. the default /etc/profile is unchanged, in particular I never defined UNAME_* vars . 3. I also tried "unsetenv UNAME_r" However, uname somehow shows the wrong version 9.1: # 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!
