Howdy, I've found the following sequence to be optimal from going from pre-dirpref -current to post-dirpref -current and 4-stable to -current: make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE make installworld mergemaster <reboot to single user> fsck all partitions, answering yes to all prompts tunefs -A -s <n> all partitions, where N > 0 I found that the newer fsck didn't help any.
