I see, so I can continue upgrading the system. This time, I only want to upgrade the system, and rebuild the kernel. When I need other operations, I will backup all data first.

Correct, but accidents happen, so _backup_ your data.On Sat, 2014-03-08 at 17:58 +0000, Cao, Renzhi (MU-Student) wrote:Ok, I have about 2T data there, I need to go by a external disk to back up the data, and then updating the system. Thank youSorry for my broken English. I guess "accidents happen" does mean that sometimes data is touched by upgrades, but it isn't. I wanted to say that when fixing a broken install, then you could make a mistake, an accident, that will damage your data. Btw., please don't top post,
No, not "please don't stop posting," but rather "please don't top post." In other words, your responses should be at the bottom of the e-mail so that people can read from the top down and understand what's going on. Good luck! -- David J.
