Solved Cannot update to FreeBSD 10.1

[fred974]

Hello guys,

I am trying to update my FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p12 to FreeBSD 10.1 using the following command:
# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install

When I reboot I am still on 10.0. Could anyone see what I am doing wrong?

Thank you

Fred

These commands will only fetch and install the latest security patches. In other words, you'll end up with the latest patch level for FreeBSD 10.0.

Follow the proper instructions (see section 2.2.) to upgrade to FreeBSD 10.1.

Hi Beastie,

I did read that page and my understanding was to run the command I did.

The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 8.[4]-RELEASE, 9.[123]-RELEASE, 10.0-RELEASE, 10.1-RC[1234] can upgrade as follows:

# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install

Do I need to do the

2.1. Upgrading from Source

Try this first for a binary upgrade.
# freebsd-update -r 10.1-RELEASE upgrade

You need to go to the section 24.2.3 Performing Major and Minor Version Upgrades of the handbook.

Sorry, It was a long day, I didn't read you reply properly. Thank you srobert for spelling it out to me
