Hi list,
Is it reasonably safe to upgrade 13-stable/rpi4 at the moment?
The system runs zfs.
--
I use FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT and just assume 13-stable/rpi4 is safe to upgrade.
Maybe make and test a booting USB Flash drive with your ZFS on root setup for the presently booting Raspberry Pi, so you have a method to boot and then repair after an upgrade.
IF you are running ZFS, I would create a "snapshot" using bectl or beadm, before upgrading, so you could get back to a booting configuration that you have now.
2nd I would save a copy ALL the files and configurations in the ESP EFI FAT32 partition that is presently booting for you now.
3rd I would save the /boot/kernel/kernel file from on the mounted ZFS zpool for root directory '/' I again would use a tool like md5deep or hashdeep to checksum the / and /boot directory files
4th Make notes on the initial ZFS root directory, zpool list, zfs list zfs get all zroot
Here are some links that I share related to Raspberry Pi 4B.

Thanks for the training you gave me with this ZFS material. I
benefited from your creative web post, to use creating a ZFS install to
Raspberry Pi 4B USB SSD

Audit your /boot files with md5deep audit tool

Make notes on file size, file date, and file md5sum or sha256sum
checksums. I use tool md5deep

What are your thoughts and success on using FreeBSD on root ZFS on a
Raspberry Pi 4B, Void? How much dram is on your Raspberry Pi 4B.
Are you interested in the Newer RK3588 SoC single board computers like
the Orange Pi 5 and the https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock5 with 8 cpus running
FreeBSD?
