------=_Part_285_54489529.1661263368683 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, I'm running the super duper boot environment using ZFS. [1] I have /var and /usr/local as separate datasets. These do not change when I upgrade the OS and that keeps the backups a lot smaller as the backup sees a new BE as a new dataset and fully zfs sends all the data again. But when I rollback /var/db/etcupdate is not in sync with / anymore. And /var/db/ports and /var/db/pkg should be kept in sync with /usr/local. But I do not need to rollback these if I need to go back to the previous BE. Do people have a nice solution for this? Should I mv and symlink /var/db/etcupdate to somewhere in the BE? Regards, Ronald.
