It worked. Not only my usb drive but all other partitions are auto mounting.

One question, can I continue to update the system the usual way ? I mean using the commands :

Code: Select all

sudo pkg update -f 
sudo pkg upgrade

When there is updates and upgrades you will be notified by update-station.

Better use the GUI

Using 'sudo pkg upgrade' on kernel upgrade will result in an unusable system.

I have already used sudo pkg upgrade once. It downloaded 400MB of updates. Is the damage already done ? Do I need to reinstall GhostBSD again ?

I do not think there is a kernel upgrade after that release.

at worst you can do "sudo pkg upgrade -f" it will for to upgrade everything on the right kernel version.

Thank God that I don't have to reinstall.

By the way I came to know about those two command by reading this wiki

Oh, if you installed with zfs, update-station does some backup that can be started at boot.

thanks, I didn't know about that. I rarely deal with the documentation.

Yes I am using ZFS. The backups that the update-station creates they reside on the / partition right ?
I have allocated 25GB for GhostBSD. Is that enough ? I am worried that the backups may consume all space.
