Topic: upgrade from 5.5 to 5.6 impossible ?

[dj-ad]

Hello all !

Thanks a lot for advance for your help. I'm having troubles to upgrade sme server 5.5 to 5.6...

i followed the procedure as described in the news section,

"The installer will detect an SME Server system which has not been correctly shut down prior to upgrading. An upgrade cannot be performed reliably on such a system. To upgrade in this case:
- Halt the system
- Remove the installation CD
- Start up the existing system normally
- Shut the system down using the "Shutdown" option from the server console
- Insert the installation CD
- Restart the installation from CD"

This doesn't work with me... I got a HP NetServer LHII, dual PII266, 256Mb RAM, dual ADAPTEC SCSI 7880 Fast SCSI controler with 2 Barracuda disk on each channel...

The first disk (/dev/sda6, /dev/sda1) contains respectively "/" and "/boot" and the other disks (/dev/sdc6, /dev/sdd5, /dev/sdb5) are mounted on various ibays... (one disk per ibay, in the "/files" directory of the ibay).

I tried to manually umount the devices, reboot forcing the fsck and then try to upgrade, but the error is still occuring... I force the shutdown with -ah options, but it doesn't prevent the error...

I do not understand why upgrade software detects bad unmounted filesystems since i force a clean umount of them (except for / and /boot)

Can anyone help me please ?
