HTML FreeBSD: Home NAS, part 1 â configuring ZFS mirror (RAID1)
throw0101a wrote 41 min ago:
When setting up root-on-ZFS on FreeBSD, it's worth knowing about boot
environments (a concept originally from Solaris):
* [1] * [2] * [3] * [4] * [5] It lets you patch/upgrade an isolated
environment without touching the running bits, reboot into that
environment, and if things aren't working well boot back into the last
known-good one.

oh, i didnt knew the concept is taken from Solaris, which version of
Solaris? and is there any official source that indicates it is from
Solaris?

This is getting lots of upvotes and rightfully so. I think people would
love more posts about FreeBSD: especially about ZFS and bhyve (the
FreeBSD hypervisor).
It's a bit sad that this Lenovo ThinkCentre ain't using ECC. I use and
know ZFS is good but I'd prefer to run it on a machine supporting ECC.
I never tried FreeBSD but I'm reading more and more about it and it
looks like although FreeBSD has always had its regular users, there are
now quite some people curious about trying it out. For a variety of
reasons. The possibility of having ZFS by default and an hypervisor
without systemd is a big one for me (I run Proxmox so I'm halfway there
but bhyve looks like it'd allow me to be completely systemd free).
I'm running systemd-free VMs and systemd-free containers (long live
non-systemd PID ones) so bhyve looks like it could the final piece of
the puzzle to be free of Microsoft/Poettering's systemd.

other filesystems are just as susceptible to data corruption from
memory errors. this is not a weakness unique to ZFS.
