I already knew most of this, too - but thanks for bringing it to my attention again. If I have to check each individual feature with respect to its "bootability" in the future that is really bad news given that I have about a hundred servers to manage. So let me shortly describe our use case. I run servers hosting jails. I upgrade them e.g. like this: 13.1 13.2 13.3 14.1 ... The "habit" that I cited is to upgrade the zpools to match the release. We use freebsd-update and in the rare cases where we don't we track releng/x.y. We do not run main/head in production. Can I be confident about upgrading my pools or not? Modulo bugs, but we have test systems, of course. Kind regards, Patrick
