Hi,
is it expected with the latest prestable that new backup BE is created
even if minor binary is updated?
Milan,
That's how it works in Solaris 11, certainly.
If the update will be straight into the running system, then the new BE
is a snapshot before the update is applied.
If the update will be into a new boot environment (requiring a reboot to
activate), then the backup is the current boot environment which is
unchanged by the update.
Either way, you get a 'before' and an 'after' BE.
I was expecting "BE snapshots" through ZFS snapshots as it was. Not new BE.
How would you boot back to a ZFS snapshot if your update trashed the
current BE?
That's exactly what a BE is for (and it's little more than a ZFS
snapshot anyway).
