I=E2=80=99ve updated two machines and had no problems, read the mailing=20 lists and remember no problem apart from the boot loader. Updated the boot loader before upgrading the pools, found the way=20 for EFI is different then I remembered (mount EFI partition, copy=20 /boot/loader.efi to it) but it worked just fine.. So, while I cannot 100% guarantee it=E2=80=99s without problems, I would=20 expect no hiccups. And the new bootloader is only needed if/once=20 you upgrade your pools, I actually run my laptop for a week with=20 quite an old loader ;) Cheers, Mathias Stefan Bethke <stb@lassitu.de> writes: > I'm planning to upgrade three production machines with existing=20 > ZFS pools to 13-stable.
