Hello folks,
I am having an issue with sysupgrade and I have had trouble finding the
source of the problem so I hope someone here might be able and willing
to point me in the right direction.
I have 6 small systems running OpenBSD -current and I have a basic
script which upgrades to the latest snapshot weekly. The systems are all
relatively similar. Three are the exact same piece of hardware, two are
slightly different, and one is a VM configured to match the first three
as closely as possible with virtual hardware.
The script checks the current kernel version, (e.g. "GENERIC.MP#302")
logs it, runs sysupgrade, and after the reboot it checks the kernel
version again. If it is different it logs it as a "success" and if it is
still the same it logs it as a failure.
All 6 systems were configured using the same autoinstall configuration
and the upgrade script is identical on each unit. However, two of the
three identical units always fail. When I remote into either system and
manually run the upgrade script it also fails. I was able to get onsite
with one of them where I connected a monitor and keyboard and manually
ran the script to observe the results but oddly enough it succeeded so I
learned nothing actionable. However it continues to fail the weekly
upgrade. I have confirmed that the script permissions are identical on
the working and nonworking units.
The 4 units that successfully upgrade leave a mail message with a log of
the upgrade process. However I have been unable to find any record or
log on the systems that are failing to help me figure out why this isn't
working. The only difference I can identify between the systems is that
"auto_upgrade.conf" and "bsd.upgrade" are both present in "/" on the two
systems that fail, but are properly removed on the 4 that succeed.
I would appreciate any suggestions of what else I can try or check to
figure out what is causing this issue.
Thanks
Judah
