Bug ID: 208736
Summary: freebsd-update does not work when /var/empty is a RO
filesystem
Product: Base System
Version: 10.3-BETA2
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: a...@anarchycorp.com

Making /var/empty its own read-only filesystem is common on systems with root
on ZFS, and is the suggested configuration in the FreeBSD wiki
(https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS). freebsd-update should probably detect
such configurations when running with the "upgrade" option, and either abort
gracefully with a warning or ignore the steps it would normally take on
/var/empty. Currently it stops with very little diagnostic output.
I've confirmed this on several amd64 systems configured with root on ZFS while
attempting to upgrade via 'freebsd-update upgrade -r 10.3-RELEASE".
