💡 Idea for a debugging script 💡

This might already exist for FreeBSD, and if so.. let me know!

1. keeps record of OS core/default settings: loader.conf, rc.conf, sysctl.conf, devfs.rules, login.conf etc
1. keeps record of file checksum on those OS core files (similar to the app, tripwire)
1. mode which shows divergence on current state vs known-default state in configs (1) and checksums (2)
  -4) mode which tracks the files and their change-sets over time, similar to a zfs snapshot but at a single file-level

@[email protected] Oh, does that boot now? It didn’t last time I tried: without /etc mounted, you can’t mount other filesystems. I guess the kernel is doing slightly more for ZFS mounts on boot than it used to (doesn’t work for non-ZFS systems because fstab is in /etc, it used to also not work for ZFS, I think, because something in rc.d was needed to mount additional filesystems).
