Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade a system from BETA2 to BETA4.

First I run:

# freebsd-update -r 10.0-BETA4 upgrade

This goes fine.

When I run

# freebsd-update install

the system churns for a while, then hangs.

freebsd-update has no verbose mode that I can see. I tried running it
under truss to see if there was some obvious error from ZFS
permissions or something, and got:

stat("/sbin/tr",0x7fffffffc8f0)                  ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
stat("/bin/tr",0x7fffffffc8f0)                   ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
stat("/usr/sbin/tr",0x7fffffffc8f0)              ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
stat("/usr/bin/tr",{ mode=-r-xr-xr-x ,inode=2729,size=20960,blksize=20992 }) = 0 (0x0)
pipe(0x7fffffffca18)                             = 0 (0x0)
fork()                                           = 68697 (0x10c59)
close(3)                                         = 0 (0x0)
close(5)                                         = 0 (0x0)
fork()                                           = 68698 (0x10c5a)
close(4)                                         = 0 (0x0)
getpgrp()                                        = 61524 (0xf054)

It sits here, no error, no nothing until I hit ^C and it dies.

ZFS is configured as per https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?&t=31557

Any suggestions on how to debug this?

Thanks!
