https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D208736 Bug ID: 208736 Summary: freebsd-update does not work when /var/empty is a RO filesystem Product: Base System Version: 10.3-BETA2 Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: alan@anarchycorp.com CC: freebsd-amd64@FreeBSD.org CC: freebsd-amd64@FreeBSD.org Making /var/empty its own read-only filesystem is common on systems with ro= ot on ZFS, and is the suggested configuration in the FreeBSD wiki (https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS). freebsd-update should probably detect such configurations when running with the "upgrade" option, and either abort gracefully with a warning or ignore the steps it would normally take on /var/empty. Currently it stops with very little diagnostic output. I've confirmed this on several amd64 systems configured with root on ZFS wh= ile attempting to upgrade via 'freebsd-update upgrade -r 10.3-RELEASE". --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
