Well, you can't reboot into single user on remote (unless you have a remote console setup), but I have done the above steps remotely except for that. The difference for me was that instead of rebooting into single user, I rebooted into normal system, then shut down each running service/daemon except for ssh before the mergemaster and installworld steps. I don't know how reliable this method is for others, but it always works well for me (with 5.3 Release and 5.3 Stable at least). - Sam ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The Canonical Way to Update Your System (for 5.x): 1) make buildworld 2) make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE 3) make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE 4) reboot in single user 5) /etc/rc.d/preseedrandom 6) mergemaster -p 7) make installworld 8) mergemaster 9) reboot Cant do this for remote system as you know I was merely pointing out what was the official take on the usual. The general consensus for remote systems is to replace steps 4 and 5 with shut down as many services as possible. This has never failed me for minor updates, but caution is advised for major ones. AFAIK 6,7,8 is not required unless i'm updating cross major freebsd version i,e v4.x - 5.x ? correct my if i'm wrong. Step 6 is rarely needed (most often for a FreeBSD version update as you describe). Steps 7 and 8 are required (although step 8 may be a noop). Jon yeah my bad i meant 5,6,8 because make installworld took place in my scenario. the issue is would going from 5.4-PRERELEASE to 5.3-RELEASE-p5 give issues ? basically i did 1. system came with 5.3-RELEASE 2. did cvsup to RELENG_5 3. cd /usr/src make buildworld make installworld cd /sys/i386/conf/ config mykernel cd ../compile/mykernel make depend make make install reboot 4. got 5.4-PRERELEASE which cause me issues intalling and configuring cPanel 5. changed my cvsupfile to RELENG_5_3 and cvsup'ed 6. did again cd /usr/src make buildworld make installworld cd /sys/i386/conf/ config mykernel cd ../compile/mykernel make depend make make install reboot 7. got 5.3-RELEASE-p5 8. and when doing strace got the errors i originally posted in the thread = 1. server# /usr/local/bin/strace -f ps PIOCSFL: Inappropriate ioctl for device trouble opening proc file 2. mounting ext2fs partition doesn't work unless i specify -ro or it will give operation not permitted. = to be honest i never tried strace when i was on PRERELEASE , but mounting ext2fs on 5.4-PRELREASE it was working with 'rw' option. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How did you perform the downgrade? The strace error looks like you're still running the 5.3-STABLE binary. first i ran RELENG_5 and when i got the 5.4-PRERELEASE (which incompatible with cPanel.net software) i had to run cvsup with RELENG_5_3 after than i started getting those errors ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
