Question... I do alot of stable upgrades and as a result I spend alot of time with mergemaster. My changes in etc are minimal, so I rather wipe out my existing /etc (except for machine specific files like fstab, and so on) and have mergemaster install everything from /usr/src/etc. This way I don't have to spend time going through all the diffs. I have found that there is no quick and

running 9.1-STABLE r247548 updating to 9.1-STABLE r248381 When updating to the new version in a zfs beadm environment, mergemaster -D /mnt fails with install: illegal option -- l install (1) in the new version has an added -l switch which is used in bsd.own.mk which in turn is used by mergemaster. Making mergemaster use the new install(1) fixes the problem. John Theus TheUsGroup.com

Before reading below: I am considering a new install rather than an upgrade of our servers. However, now I just want to beat this problem. :) At 02:19 PM 7/8/2003 +0000, Phil Pennock wrote: >On 2003-07-08 at 14:09 +0000, Phil Pennock wrote: > > There was a fairly major update to the IDE disk device handlers which > > required new device nodes.

Hello peoples, mergemaster fails saying freebsd.cf does not exist when building temproot. Have I missed something here? Thanks Michael Mercer cd /usr/src/etc/sendmail; make distribution install -C -o root -g wheel -m 644 /usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc freebsd.cf /var/tmp/temproot/etc/mail install: freebsd.cf: No such file or directory *** Error code 71 Stop in /usr/src/etc/sendmail. ***

I sent this to freebsd-questions earlier via the newsgroup, but I just found out today that the list-to-news gateway has been down for half a month now. Any idea when it's going back up? Who was hosting that service anyway? And now for the question.. I have a test server that is being used to test a 4.4-REL to 4.8-STABLE upgrade, and I've found the system will no longer boot unless I

Yeah, I don't have luck with mergemaster, may be after another 100 times I run it I will educate myself to properly use it. So, would '-i' option help me to automate the process? Best Regards, Anton

hi to all FreeBSD user. i have a problem about updating from 4.8-RELEASED to 4.8-STABLE, here's exactly what i did: first: cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile, where my stable-supfile is located at /root. 2nd: cd /usr/src; make buildworld; make buildkernel KERNCONF=BUFDAEMON; make installkernel KERNCONF=BUFDAEMON 3rd: reboot; mergemaster -p; make installworld; mergemaster; reboot. after

Hi, I noticed that my 4.8R box seems to have a NFS problem. I use a FreeBSD/i386 4.8R box as a NFS server, and a FreeBSD/i386 5-CURRENT (as of today) as the NFS client. On the client, /a (on the server) can be mounted successfully with -o rw,bg,intr,mntudp options. However, when a large amount of write operations such as "cp -r /home/ncvs /a" are performed on the client, the

I'm cvsupping 4.8-STABLE to 4.8-STABLE. The cvsup run finished about 23:32 on 7/13. After make buildworld, make buildkernel, mergemaster -p, make installworld, and mergemaster -v, I do (per mostgraveconcern, RIP): cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall make clean make all install The 'make all install' gives errors: In file included from keymap.c:40: keymap.h:4436: `keymap_be_iso'

hi guys, i have version 4.8-STABLE running. i've just update my stable-supfile and building, recompiling my custom kernel, my question is: if im going to cvsup my stable-supfile again, and compile the customed kernel again, do i have to: make buildworld, make installworld, mergemaster again or just make buildkernel KERNCONF & make install KERNCONF? hoping for your reply guys, thanks.

Hello, I installed 4.8-RELEASE a few weeks ago, and since I let the effort sit stagnant for a while I decided to do the cvsup/buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel/installworld/mergemaster/MAKEDEV steps to get current. Went fine, rebooted, then noticed that just one CPU was recognized: FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #0: Thu Jun 19 17:05:20 PDT 2003

Well, 4 days after previous upgrade i cvs'ed RELENG_4 from local cvs tree (updated hourly), made buildworld buildkernel installkernel, rebooted into single user, made installworld and mergemaster. Mergemaster updated newsyslog.conf, syslogd.conf, ok, rebooted... Wow... All scripts from /usr/local/etc/rc.d refused to load. And the system is in "Amnesiac" mode Attempt to run

David gave me some suggestions to check out on the servers, but so far, its all drawing a blank ... I have two servers right now that are updated to recent 4.8-STABLE kernels ... one was June 22nd, and the other was upgraded June 20th ... both of them have crashed since that date, and both of them tell me that they are unable to produce a core file, with the same errors: Jun 26 04:27:14 jupiter

After cvsupping, when I built world, it errored out with an error 134. I mv /usr/src /usr/src.old and cvsupped again... tried a buildworld, still an error 134 I "make kernel" and all went well After rebooting, I made world .. all went well I cp'd my custom kernel source to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf and made kernel ALL went well... I rebooted, did a mke world from /usr/src and all went
