Updating to 13-stable and existing ZFS pools: any gotchas?

[Mathias Picker]

I’ve updated two machines and had no problems, read the mailing 
lists and remember no problem apart from the boot loader.

Updated the boot loader before upgrading the pools, found the way 
for EFI is different then I remembered (mount EFI partition, copy 
/boot/loader.efi to it) but it worked just fine..

So, while I cannot 100% guarantee it’s without problems, I would 
expect no hiccups. And the new bootloader is only needed if/once 
you upgrade your pools, I actually run my laptop for a week with 
quite an old loader ;)

Cheers, Mathias
