Colleagues,
Which is the appropriate maillist to ask questions about Root-on-ZFS
systems? 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.
