Hi, Just ran freebsd-install upgrade -r 14.2 (upgrading from 14.0). After that I ran: # /usr/sbin/freebsd-update install Creating snapshot of existing boot environment... cannot create 'zroot/ROOT/14.0-RELEASE-p3_2025-01-09_215215/homeassi3/dsk1.vhd': 'canmount' do es not apply to datasets of...

Hi, I am looking for help trying to understand what is taking to so long. I started a jail upgrade from 12.2 to 14.1 on Sunday. Previous ones have been long already, like one day. Okay. This one has been running for four days already. Here's the status: The following files will be updated as...

I'm not sure what happened, but suddenly any attempt to run pkg says ld-elf.so.1: /usr/sbin/pkg: Undefined symbol "fetchDebug". I tried reinstalling it from ports, and I got this error ld-elf.so.1: /usr/bin/fetch: Undefined symbol "fetchRestartCalls", but I managed to download the file it wanted...

When I run freebsd-update fetch, it says I have modified some files locally: The following files are affected by updates. No changes have been downloaded, however, because the files have been modified locally: /etc/defaults/rc.conf /var/db/mergemaster.mtree I don't remember modifying these -...

I'm cleaning up my notes now that I'm committed to running FreeBSD on my desktop full-time. I noticed that when I run freebsd-update it creates a snapshot of the environment? So, in theory, I shouldn't need to create one prior to running the command. Is what freebsd-update doing sufficient if...

Hello everyone, The FreeBSD Handbook, chapter 26, concerning my question is presently still using jargon beyond my level of learning; searching the forum, the Internet, YouTube, etc. did not yield an explanation for my rather basic question. I hope I do not disturb the quality of the forums by...

Hello there. Just upgraded from 13.2 to 14.0 RELEASE, via freebsd-update tool. I guess I manually need to execute command for ZFS update/upgrade, after FreeBSD upgrade from 13.2 to 14, right? I'd like to be careful on this step because this is a remote dedicated server with no physical access...

Hi, after freebsd-update fetch install and a reboot, I now cannot connect to my remote server. My ssh client on Windows says: End of keyboard-interactive prompts for server - Server refused to allocate pty. I tried to clean my known_hosts ssh file on Windows, then tried to reconnect, nothing...

I have a number of special settings in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. When I tried to upgrade from 12.3 to 12.4 the config merge process removes everyone of them including the ListenAddress which disables sshd altogether. I do not recall having this difficulty with previous upgrades. Is my memory going...
