zfs-boot crowd:
I said I'd try to come up with a procedure for liveupgrading
the netinstalled zfs-root setup, but I haven't found time to
do so yet (I'm focusing on getting this supported in install
for real). So while I hate to retreat into the I never said
you could upgrade this configuration
I've had at least some success (tried it once so far) doing a BFU to cloned
filesystem from a b62 zfs root system, I could probably document that if
there is interest.
I have not tried taking a new ISO and installing the new packages ontop of a
cloned fileystem though.

Yep, been there too, weather's nice :-)

Hi,
I'm a big fan of live upgrade. I'm also a big fan of ZFS boot. The latter is
more important for me. And yes, I'm looking forward to both being integrated
with each other.
Meanwhile, what is the best way to upgrade a post-b61 system that is booted
from ZFS?
I'm thinking:
1. Boot from ZFS
I'm actually wondering the same thing because I have b62 w/ the ZFS bits;
but need the snapshot's -r functionality.

Hi,
Our upgrade story isn't great right now. In the meantime,
you might check out Tim Haley's blog entry on using
bfu with zfs root.
thanks.
But doesn't live upgrade just start the installer from the new OS
DVD with the right options? Can't I just do that too?
Cheers,
Constantin

you're lucky, it's already there. From my b62 machine's man zfs:
zfs snapshot [-r] [EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]

No, I did mean 'snapshot -r' but I thought someone on the list said
that the '-r' wouldn't work until b63... hmmm...
'snapshot -r' is available before b62, however, '-r' may run into a
stack overflow (bug 6533813) which is fixed in b63.
