Description Vedran Miletic 2024-06-20 06:40:08 UTC

Per

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-announce/2024-June/000137.html

the 14-RELEASE-p1 should come with an updated kernel, but in my case only the userland got updated. Kernel version shown by `uname -a` is unchanged after reboot, i.e. it shows:

... releng/14.1-n267679-10e31f0946d8 ...

instead of

... releng/14.1-n267680-f566b7eb8d94 ...

that is mentioned in the errata notice.

I tried another round of freebsd-update fetch, but it says no updates are available.

I guess because only the zfs module was rebuilt and not the whole kernel:

Incidentally, base 0892dff104440867956a53e78c12d66090fec36b (2024-06-19) in pkgbase bug 279947.

(In reply to Herbert J. Skuhra from comment #1)
Correct, the kernel itself was not modified.  This is the expected (albeit not ideal) behaviour.
