Went ahead to properly verify the fact on fresh 13 install on ZFS root and no. The feature is not there yet. E.g. - bectl is presented in 13-p0 - 13-p5 - freebsd-update does not contain any reference to bectl hence it cannot create snapshot on update on 13-p0 - 13-p5. However, freebsd-update in 13-STABLE (source code) contains bectl bits to handle snapshoting on update as proposed for inclusion here: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D21892 So my conclusion is, perhaps with 13-p6 it'll be first time the feature will be user-visible and usable. Sorry for nitpicking but needed to know that for sure. Thanks, Karel
