[SM] I'm not quite sure what you mean. I don't see how I may have mounted it wrong. I simply replaced the old drive with the new one, and just ran the install from the CD. I started the upgrade process before even securing the box further... Here's what the df output gives me: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 99183 38911 52338 43% / /dev/ad0s1f 3829204 1292809 2230059 37% /usr /dev/ad0s1e 19815 909 17321 5% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc > In general, I would carefully look for user error here first. > * Make sure your supfile says RELENG_4 and not RELENG_4_4 [SM] weird. I know for a fact I edited /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile; I got rid of all the commentary at the top of the file. However, its back. I'm assuming it's a result of having upgraded. I do know for sure however, that I was using "RELENG_4" > * Ensure that the cvsup process completed successfully > * Make sure each of the various "make" processes completed properly > etc, etc [SM] I was watching through all of it for the entire 8+hours it took to buildworld, everything looked ok (after I started it, I learned of the -j flag I could have used, hehe). Cvsup completed without a hitch, as did the make buildworld and make installworld later on > You may also want to make sure you're not using a mirror site that's > completely out of date.

I'm going to try again, on another server, possibly simply the main one. I was using either cvsup.ca.freebsd.org or cvsup2.ca.freebsd.org. I've seen the .ca mirror of the freebsd.org ftp be way behind before (which is too bad, because its SO much faster for me than ftp.freebsd.org) It took some 2 months or so before it saw 4.4release... back when it first appeared.
