So here is my take on the update . For starters if you are using a stock binary 9.3-RELEASE you can use freebsd-update to go 9.3 -> 10.1 , 10.1 -> 10.3 , 10.3 -> 11.0 . In theory freebsd-update should allow for 9.x -> 10.x but there was some breakage in the 10's FreeBSD updates that prevented this . If you decided to do a source build you can go 9.x to 10.3 w/o much. >> >> In the past with much older versions, I know file system changes and such >> make it pretty hard to jump major revisions, >> so have a little bit of fear about jumping from 9.x to 10.x, and possibly >> even to 11.x if that is now stable.
