I've always run freebsd-update inside of each jail, unnecessarily downloading everything repeatedly. It seems like -b doesn't work for upgrades though, unless I've missed something. Your example is for "fetch install", but naturally I extrapolated that it should work for "upgrade" also. Should one of the following work? My host has already been upgraded to 10.1 because it seems to me that upgrading the host first is required since a new kernel will support old userlands, but not necessarily the reverse (which I infer from the standard instructions to do installkernel before installworld). In this case, my jail is simply an independent directory; no nullfs magic or anything. # env UNAME_r=10.1-RELEASE freebsd-update -b /j/test upgrade freebsd-update: Release target must be specified via -r option. Or: # freebsd-update -b /j/test -r 10.1 upgrade freebsd-update: Cannot upgrade from 10.1-RELEASE to itself - Leif -- As implied by email protocols, the information in this message is not confidential.
