Context . . . I've been experimenting with ZFS and bectl use recently. It has been many years since I last used ZFS --and that was only a short experiment that did not have to deal with upgrades over time. I now have: # bectl list BE Active Mountpoint Space Created 13S-CA72-nodbg N / 4.02G 2021-04-27 18:55 13_0R-CA72-nodbg R - 8.49G 2021-04-28 10:48 main-CA72-nodbg - - 3.24G 2021-04-30 13:25 (so a stable/13 vintage , releng/13.0 as of release/13.0.0 , and a main vintage for what things are based on). That is via: zroot/ROOT/13S-CA72-nodbg 1.60G 131G 4.10G / zroot/ROOT/13_0R-CA72-nodbg 8.49G 131G 4.59G / zroot/ROOT/main-CA72-nodbg 1.77G 131G 4.63G / For reference: the context is simple in various other respects: # gpart show => 40 468862048 da0 GPT (224G) 40 532480 1 efi (260M) 532520 2008 - free - (1.0M) 534528 25165824 2 freebsd-swap (12G) 25700352 25165824 4 freebsd-swap (12G) 50866176 417994752 3 freebsd-zfs (199G) 468860928 1160 - free - (580K) The USB SSD is used to boot and use any of (all aarch64): An OverDrive 1000 A MACCHIATObin Double Shot Various RPi4B's with 8 GiBytes RAM Potentially various RPI4B's with 4 GiBytes RAM. Question . . . Are there any potential future upgrade issues with main [so: 14] vs. stable/13 and releng/13.0 , say by main updates involving ZFS updates in a way stable/13 or the recent releng/13.* might not handle? The implication would be that such a mix of boot environments on the same zpool or media might not be a good idea over time: main might be better separated so the ZFS versioning is independent between 13 and 14. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)Received on Fri Apr 30 2021 - 21:21:32 UTC
