“I repeated it a few times. I had to restart various services in between retries (I think I restarted everything by the end). Eventually it succeeded.” I tried it 30 times to no avail. The report doesn't offer another solution. > - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1039522 “instead of converting the client, convert the server first.” I don't want to convert the server. The server is running fine and has no issues. I don't have a clue what this has to do with the server. “So there is a workaround when your NFS server is a Linux machine and you may use chroot on it, at least.” The server doesn't run Linux. So also no solution there. > carefully copy the files over a Linux machine, chroot+convert > there, then move back to the NFS server. That is quite an involved task. I didn't expect such fiddling for a simple OS update. I'm a bit worried that the permissions and owners go haywire when I copy stuff directly off the server onto a VM and back onto the server. Is there a recommended procedure or documentation available? > Can help: > https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/312218/chroot-from-freebsd-to-linux I cannot install stuff on the server unfortunately. Thanks for your quick reply. Marco
