Upgrading releases?

2010-03-30 Thread Slack-Moehrle 
Hi All,

I have a system with 8.0-RELEASE and I read that 8-STABLE has ZFS v14 (instead 
of v13)

I am trying:

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 8-STABLE 

and it does not work. it tried 3 mirrors, all fail and nada.

Since I am new to FreeBSD, what am I obviously missing? Is there a place that 
states the releases? Is there an 8.1 or 8.2 out now that has even a new version 
of ZFS?

Best,
-Jason

Have a look at the DESCRIPTION section of the freebsd-update(8) man page,
which explains why you cannot upgrade to -STABLE using this utility.  If
you wish to upgrade from -RELEASE to -STABLE, the handbook covers the
proper source-based upgrade procedure.
