Just upgrade a VM of mine running <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> 14.3 to 15.0 RELEASE, all went well in probably 20 minutes. Super fast, dead simple, and not frightening at all thanks to <a href="/tags/zfs/" rel="tag">#ZFS</a> BE backups. It felt so easy that I am even a bit bored.<br><br><a href="/tags/bsd/" rel="tag">#BSD</a> <a href="/tags/runbsd/" rel="tag">#RUNBSD</a> <a href="/tags/unix/" rel="tag">#Unix</a> <a href="/tags/foss/" rel="tag">#FOSS</a><br>

<p>I’m currently having a hard/fun time trying to run <a href="/tags/slackware/" rel="tag">#Slackware</a> with encrypted <a href="/tags/zfs/" rel="tag">#ZFS</a> root. Not like it’s something many seem to do (or document).</p><p>Hopefully, <a href="https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/Slackware/index.html" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/Slackware/index.html"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs</span><span class="invisible">/Getting%20Started/Slackware/index.html</span></a> and <a href="https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:slackware_admin:zfs_root" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="docs.slackware.com/howtos:slackware_admin:zfs_root"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">docs.slackware.com/howtos:slac</span><span class="invisible">kware_admin:zfs_root</span></a> are great. But I have only read it 3 times and unsuccessfully applied dozens yet 😰</p>
