Hi All,
I seem to have a sysupgrade problem ... sysupgrade fails after reboot with an error: The directory '/home/_sysupgrade/' does not exist. Sometime ago I had a similar issue due to my having "/home" as a sub-directory of a filesystem "/space". My mistake apparently. Never the less, I had a simple and effective workaround of modifying the path defined in /auto_upgrade.conf before rebooting. Weirdly, that workaround no longer seems to work. To try and avoid any trace of the previous "/home" mount issue, here is what happens when I use the sysupgrade -b flag to set a completely different "base-directory", located in a different filesystem ... Can anyone see where I am going wrong? mjoelnir:/etc 8.11 15:55:08 # sysupgrade -n -b /fast Fetching from http://ftp.fau.de/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/amd64/ SHA256.sig 100% |*****************************************************************************************| 2144 00:00 Signature Verified INSTALL.amd64 100% |****************************************************************************************| 43554 00:00 base72.tgz 100% |*****************************************************************************************| 332 MB 00:33 bsd 100% |*****************************************************************************************| 22463 KB 00:06 bsd.mp 100% |*****************************************************************************************| 22578 KB 00:05 bsd.rd 100% |*****************************************************************************************| 4541 KB 00:02 comp72.tgz 100% |*****************************************************************************************| 74968 KB 00:11 game72.tgz 100% |*****************************************************************************************| 2745 KB 00:01 man72.tgz 100% |*****************************************************************************************| 7612 KB 00:03 xbase72.tgz 100% |*****************************************************************************************| 52850 KB 00:09 xfont72.tgz 100% |*****************************************************************************************| 22967 KB 00:06 xserv72.tgz 100% |*****************************************************************************************| 14815 KB 00:04 xshare72.tgz 100% |*****************************************************************************************| 4573 KB 00:02 Verifying sets.

Continue without verification = yes I then reboot the system. It recognises that a upgrade should take place, boots bsd.upgrade writes several messages to the console culminating in "The directory '/home/_sysupgrade/' does not exist" and then reboots a second time. It even cleans up those downloaded files in "/fast/_sysupgrade". Later I get this email: Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2022 16:06:00 +0100 (CET) ...
