I thought that I probably should provide some additional information about the system in question. First of all, I have been updating it from src right along. Both the kernel and user level programs. Also, given the compact form factor of the system and that all of the drives in it are being used either by the root filesystems or the data storage itself. Here is the zpool output root@vader:1 /root> zpool status pool: stor state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0 in 0 days 02:21:12 with 0 errors on Wed Apr 22 05:23:49 2020 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM stor ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 da0 ONLINE 0 0 0 da1 ONLINE 0 0 0 da2 ONLINE 0 0 0 da3 ONLINE 0 0 0 da4 ONLINE 0 0 0 da5 ONLINE 0 0 0 da6 ONLINE 0 0 0 da7 ONLINE 0 0 0 logs ada0s1 ONLINE 0 0 0 cache ada0s2 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors pool: zroot state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0 in 0 days 00:00:20 with 0 errors on Wed Apr 22 03:02:58 2020 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM zroot ONLINE 0 0 0 nvd0p4 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors So as you can see, zroot it on an NVMe m.2 device plugged into the motherboard and all of the other devices are being used by the stor pool. >From the description in the freebsd-update man page it appears that it doesn't support updating a STABLE or CURRENT level, only a RELEASE level so I assume that I will need to be updating via source. I suspect that I could also reinstall 12.1 over the existing NVMe drive as well, if that would be the most reliable approach. Note that the data in the stor zpool is truly a complete backup of my primary server and I could recreate it, but it's quite a lot of data and I'd really rather not have to do that.
