@paul @linus @stefano @whynothugo I chose Ubuntu (for KDE Plasma) because the installer provides root-on-ZFS.
With that base, I have not yet figured out which of these will be the simplest way forward:
― bemgr
― zectl
― ZFSBootMenu.
I see verbose guides, the verbosity creates a sense of complication.
I'd like the simplest possible guide to getting started, with any of the three options, where the boot environment layout/structure is predetermined by the installer for Ubuntu.
TIA
@DrHyde Issue with #FreeBSD installation, via "bsdinstall" menus, of #rootOnZFS is that no option is presented either to use GPT labels or "disk-id" paths. That pool usage remains with dancing device names.
I have not tried enabling/using "disk-id" paths to see if that would change the name of devices for the root pool.
@jamesthebard Backups FTW! 👍
I recently discovered that when I created pools for root on ZFS for my homelab file server, I accidentally left off the 'mirror' keyword and was operating with a 2 drive stripe set instead of mirrors for bpool and rpool. 😬 But I've reinstalled for other reasons and have even purchased a new SSD to mirror the existing (no redundancy) install. But I've already proven my backups value to perform the installation.
To users of #ZFSOnRoot #RootOnZFS on #FreeBSD on #Framework #laptop #FrameworkPuter,
If you had updated the #BIOS, how did you do that? Did you need to restore the #EFI configuration somehow?
