In the FreeBSD handbook, the correct command to upgrade is
freebsd-update -r 9.2-RELEASE upgrade
but I may used
freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.2-RELEASE
in the first try, resulting into failed upgrade. After cleaning /var/db/freebsd-update, I repeated the whole procedure with the correct command above, now all the files that I checked indicate they are in 9.2-RELEASE-p3 now. For example:
in the file /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh it reads:
TYPE="FreeBSD"
REVISION="9.2"
BRANCH="RELEASE-p3"
and the change I made into /etc/hosts during the upgrade merging process *is* in the new /etc/hosts now.
Furthermore the kernel contains the new version:
# strings kernel | grep RELEASE|grep 9
@(#)FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p3 #0: Sat Jan 11 03:25:02 UTC 2014
FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p3 #0: Sat Jan 11 03:25:02 UTC 2014
9.2-RELEASE-p3
However, uname still shows the old version:
# uname -a
FreeBSD localhost.localdomain 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #0 r243825: Tue Dec 4 09:23:10 UTC 2012 root at farrell.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
and when doing freebsd-update, it still wants to upgrade me to 9.1-RELEASE-p10.
What is still not upgraded?
Or in another word, where does uname and freebsd-update gets the current version number?
