@[email protected] I think 1-3 are covered by
freebsd-update IDS. 4 would be nice to add.In my ideal world, we'd separate out the bits in
/etcthat users touch from the ones that are provided by the system and allow/etcto be a separate ZFS dataset. Unfortunately, the lack of this separation means/etcdoesn't get mounted if you try because the scripts that mount all of the non-root ZFS datasets are in/etc.@david_[email protected] @[email protected] I might be thinking wrong but I'm fairly sure if you took a bunch of snapshots at regular intervals you can use
zfs diffbetween them to track file level changes?It tells you a file has changed, then you did the files that have changed to see the actual changes?
@[email protected] @[email protected] There really isn’t a reason to use UFS unless your machine has less than 64 MiB of RAM. We should remove it from the installer. If you’re not building an appliance image (in which case you won’t use the installer), UFS is almost certainly the wrong tool for the job.
