I have had a look at that man page, it gives ten different commands, without saying which you need to use, if they are all needed, or not, or when you actually have to used them. Fun fact is that I absolutely never ever used any of them. All I ever did was run: gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada1 because `zpool upgrade` told me to. It would probably be great to have that command in that man page. --=20 Mathieu Arnold --kmywjhzvlsiowhzh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAABCgB9FiEEVhwchfRfuV0unqO5KesJApEdfgIFAmCxOFVfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDU2 MUMxQzg1RjQ1RkI5NUQyRTlFQTNCOTI5RUIwOTAyOTExRDdFMDIACgkQKesJApEd fgLd8A/8CsRXLRnwFYSceOrQBPLIHrhFmGRc3ox96t5/+lnWkBnKVJZGLEOMGzJ8 YNiwHPDI6VLCpyGtsEx8X4qcWOb6Kk4Rh6iEWcIorneDhWUk/gW11vbHN8cvvlgi Gz1WRgyMRHx2i16do0LCzY840HaryOoA4KvRRYNwlWNBZT9LRovMD4SfPYb3oX0Z gsxxFJAkQrvvCqNHEN3nptDd4mA5Kghb/+QoEEaa6iWltfJ5lLiuXqhh1LIxrXrJ CXyp4rOmUZXH0QNwW6jl0bJ0yD6tJ2ng257nfRAskNwWqyUITkKPFwYWFmeFo2O3 KNRyBfa5xRJWsfycAh7ir1WOxnbJ0iAPpMAJNJq6a0ZW39yAzVxJjf2oAKVWNMwq OP9srsJM535RjVnnbg3JYHEFX+XNkePzwpQT9rJBk+bOL2EbQ8LzX9RkKOznUoJ1 2oJ7lfHdRIEPSqtzbUJbJI67aROsMiuf3ssvKgnHso5TXGvqLIxz/2temYkk/Z7L yVRkqyjR1i0IMvZcEmDwuIKyG9z1C8LGfOxdVY/MQ0mYWswT28BhNeSn6iJJ3KsS Mqb9EL9WzdSzJW2OR8oRhFVtyVoij1KRikY3lL6UPjMK7pd1+qybThtqhu49pTYA QXETXip9XPMV2WXtx7uURwZ1o2FEDIbUPJECBkc0y4K+537mlTk= =sSoy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --kmywjhzvlsiowhzh--
