Mounting information lost upgrading from XenServer virtualized 2.1.5
0%
Description
During the update, the devices get renamed and the reboot fails. You have to manually fix this during boot and edit the fstab.
See attached screenshot.
What was done:
I uploaded the image and did the upgrade to my amd64 VM.

That's an issue with Xen changing your devices without telling you, and coupled with FreeBSD's Xen disk driver not also offering a symlink to the legacy device name. Nothing we can automatically do to detect/handle that.
You can, pre-upgrade, run /usr/local/sbin/ufslabels.sh and have it adjust the fstab file to use UFS labels rather than device names and the upgrade will succeed as far as the disk is concerned. But it may also change your NIC types on you, which we also can't account for, so you'd have to reassign the NICs, too.
With Xen you're better off making a new VM and installing 2.2 fresh.
