https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D233657 --- Comment #3 from Rob <rob.fx907@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Philip Homburg from comment #2) I don't know how it would. Given that no error messages are produced, my hunch is bectl is failing to initialize 'bectl' uses libbe(3) to initialize a boot environment to work from. The following is a description about 'libbe_init()' from the libbe(3) man page: The libbe_init() function takes an optional BE root and initializes libbe, returning a libbe_handle_t * on success, or NULL on error. If a BE root is supplied, libbe will only operate out of that pool and BE root. An error may occur if: /boot and / are not on the same filesystem and device, libzfs fails to initialize, The system has not been properly booted with a ZFS boot environment, libbe fails to open the zpool the active boot environment resides on, = or libbe fails to locate the boot environment that is currently mounted. That may help you trouble-shoot the cause.=20 Another thing to try is, pass the root boot environment (i.e. zroot/ROOT) to bectl explicitly. This is undocumented but, you can pass the '-r' flag befo= re any of the 'bectl' commands (create, list, destroy, etc.). Here's an exampl= e: To create boot environment named 'bootenv' under the boot root zroot/ROOT # bectl -r zroot/ROOT create bootenv To list a boot environment under zroot/ROOT # bectl -r zroot/ROOT list I'm curious what you come up with. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
