Hello all, I currently have a FreeBSD server colocated and it isn't always physically accessible. I was trying to develop an upgrade path for my server, in hopes to mainly save a trip to the colo center. There are four disks, all in a single storage pool - tank. Here is the naming convention I planned on following after 9.0 is released: tank/9.0 tank/9.0/usr tank/9.0/var tank/9.0/tmp and so on This way, in theory at least, when 9.1 (or 10.0) is released, I can simply create tank/9.1 and the associated data sets, make my changes to /etc and /boot, change the zfs bootfs, reboot, and finally upgrade the ZFS pools. Is this feasible to do, or are there any caveats/gotchas I'm overlooking? Thanks!
