You mean like this? http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=24663 I am in the process of trying (and failing *sigh*) to build the world to try and reproduce this. Someone suggested that by doing installworld properly (i.e. do installworld in single user mode) this problem can be fixed. Which brings me to a related point: as I understand UNIX file system semantics, when I overwrite a file by moving another one into its place (say, a lib*.* during installworld) the old file is still available to those processes that had it open already and that new calls to open() will return the new file instead of the old one. So, what difference does it make if I do installworld in single user mode? In order to installworld I have to mount all filesystems, including the NFS ones that hold /usr/src and /usr/obj. Apart from ntpd and sshd single user mode looks the same way as multiusermode. What part of the install would not work in multiuser mode?
