From what I have read so far I guess I'll stick to the 'classic'
procedure and boot in single user to do the merging things.
A little trip to my Data Center //
Thanks.

you might (or might not) find the following scripts useful, edited
to meet
your needs (the 2nd is obviously intended to be run in single-user):
# cat buildsys
rm -rf /usr/obj && \
cd /usr/src && \
make buildworld && \
make kernel KERNCONF=KEROUAC
# cat installsys
mount -u / && \
mount -a && \
cd /usr/src && \
mergemaster -p && \
make installworld && \
rm -rf /etc/bluetooth/* && \
rm -rf /etc/defaults/* && \
rm -rf /etc/gnats/* && \
rm -rf /etc/isdn/* && \
rm -rf /etc/mtree/* && \
rm -rf /etc/pam.d/* && \
rm -rf /etc/periodic/* && \
rm -rf /etc/ppp/* && \
rm -rf /etc/rc.d/* && \
rm -rf /etc/security/* && \
rm -rf /etc/skel/* && \
rm -rf /etc/ssl/* && \
mergemaster -i && \
rm -rf /usr/obj/*
i guess it's obvious that the 2nd script is designed to be run in
single user
& that the point of concatenating the commands in each script is to
stop the
proceedings cold in case there's a failure at any stage.
at the very least, i'd reboot after running the 1st script to make
sure the
kernel works. you might have problems w/ a new system & an old
kernel.

Hello,
I have CVS-UP configured to follow RELENG_5_4
I was wondering if there is a way to patch (upgrading from 5.4-
RELEASE-p8 to a higher version) my system without going into the
classic :
# make -j4 buildworld
# make -j4 buildkernel
# make -j4 installkernel
# shutdown now
And booting in single user //
# fsck -p
# mount -u /
# mount -a -t ufs
# swapon -a
# cd /usr/src
# mergemaster -p
My system is in production and I am not onsite so this is a problem
for me to have to boot in single user mode.
Is there a way to keep the system in multi-user mode while doing
this ?
And what are the risks if any ?
Sincerly yours.

it can be done, but it is NOT guaranteed safe. i do it, but your
might
not be the same as mine. my system is a *low* traffic system, and
i am
the only user. the system is however running apache2, mysql, and
some
other daemons.
again, your mileage may vary, this is what i do:
1) make buildworld, and make buildkernel.
2) make installkernel
3) cd /usr/src, mergemaster -p, make installworld, mergemaster.
4) reboot.
hth,
jonathan
