Like the ones below: 1. Boot environment selection from the loader menu does not work on 10.3-RELEASE, or it seems like it. I have submitted a PR https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211835 but maybe it's me doing something wrong? Could someone reproduce please? 2. Sometimes it's necessary to mount a system's root from another system (LiveCD, mfsBSD or similar). To do that, you have to import a system's zroot pool on another system. Is it safe? Is it not going to render the original system unbootable? There is not much on https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS, it mostly concentrates on installing FreeBSD on ZFS, not on using it afterwards. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:sudakov@sibptus.tomsk.ru
