Hi, I am curios why the installer wants to delete "/".

This is from when I ran the update:

[root@seed ~]# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.1-RELEASE from update.FreeBSD.org... =

The following files will be removed as part of updating to =

[root@seed ~]# freebsd-update install

 done.

On a consequent reboot and running freebsd-update fetch again

[root@seed ~]# freebsd-version=20

>=20
> I.   Background
>=20
> Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.
>=20
> II.  Problem Description
>=20
> By causing queries to be made against a maliciously-constructed zone =
or
> against a malicious DNS server, an attacker who is able to cause
> specific queries to be sent to a nameserver can trick unbound(8) =
resolver
> into following an endless series of delegations, which consumes a lot =
of
> resources.
>=20
> III. Impact
>=20
> Unbound will spend a lot of resources on this query, and this will =
impact
> unbound's CPU and network resources.  Unbound may therefore lose some
> ability or timelines for the service of customer queries (a denial of
> service).  Unbound will continue to respond normally for cached =
queries.
>=20
> IV.  Workaround
>=20
> No workaround is available, but hosts not running unbound(8) are not
> vulnerable.
>=20
> V.   Solution
>=20
> Perform one of the following:
>=20
> 1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or
> release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date.
>=20
> 2) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch:
>=20
> Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64
> platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility:
>=20
> # freebsd-update fetch
> # freebsd-update install
>=20
> 3) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch:
>=20
> The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
> FreeBSD release branches.
>=20
> a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
> detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.

> # fetch =
https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-14:30/unbound.patch.asc

>=20
> b) Apply the patch.  Execute the following commands as root:

> # cd /usr/src
> # patch < /path/to/patch
>=20
> c) Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as
> described in <URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/makeworld.html>.
