After that, freebsd-update claims that many files are non existent in the new version and ask to delete them : /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory Attempting to automatically merge changes in files... done. The following file will be removed, as it no longer exists in FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE: /boot/device.hints Does this look reasonable (y/n)? n I have updated other systems without any difficulty (from the same 8.0 patch level to 8.1). I tried to delete /var/db/freebsd-update folder, but it changes nothing. Same error. I found older posts with people searching in the code which function did the error, but because everything was fine with the same context on other systems I think freebsd-update is mislead (it seems to miss the name of the file) at some point. Does anyone have some hints or direction to follow ? Thanks, -- Bastien Semene Administrateur Réseau& Système Cyanide Studio - FRANCE
