In case anyone's interested: for this morning's software maintenance session (at home) I upgraded my file server from FreeBSD stable/12 to the recently released stable/13. From source, in-place, on a running, on-line system. Despite the fact that the entire ZFS subsystem has been replaced, which is what caused me to wait for a couple of weeks, the upgrade appears to have been flawless. Not a single error message on boot-up. Not a single failed service. Everything is working perfectly. Zpool status told me that I should upgrade the pools, and did: that turned on a dozen or so new features that I'm sure are useful. Total downtime about a minute or so: just the time it took to reboot. I'm amazed. Good on the FreeBSD developers and (especially) the release engineers! cd /usr/src git switch stable/13 make -s -j20 buildworld kernel mergemaster -p make -s installworld mergemaster -U shutdown -r now zpool status zpool upgrade backup20 zpool upgrade root zpool upgrade tank Done! Cheers, Andrew
