Note you shouldn't use mergemaster any more. It works fine for upgrading
to 13, but after that, I'd expect problems because it relies on the old
VCS tags. Use etcupdate instead, see here for details:


It's also documented in the handbook:

I will join the gratulations! I’ve also upgraded my home NAS server and my 
remote Backup server without a glitch including upgrade of ZFS and all ports. 
Everything now works as on 12.2.

freebsd-update -r 13.0-RELEASE upgrade
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update install
fix /etc/ssh/sshd_conf
shutdown -r now
freebsd-update install
pkg-static install -f pkg
pkg bootstrap -f
pkg update
pkg upgrade
freebsd-update install
shutdown -r now
zpool upgrade nas

Excellent work from the FreeBSD team!

Thanks
Peter

Congratulations on the stable/13 release!

In case anyone's interested: for this morning's software maintenance 
session (at home) I upgraded my file server from FreeBSD stable/12
to the recently released stable/13.  From source, in-place, on a
running, on-line system.  Despite the fact that the entire ZFS
subsystem has been replaced, which is what caused me to wait for a
couple of weeks, the upgrade appears to have been flawless.  Not a
single error message on boot-up.  Not a single failed service.
Everything is working perfectly.  Zpool status told me that I should
upgrade the pools, and did: that turned on a dozen or so new features
that I'm sure are useful.  Total downtime about a minute or so:
just the time it took to reboot.  I'm amazed.  Good on the FreeBSD
developers and (especially) the release engineers!

cd /usr/src
git switch stable/13
make -s -j20 buildworld kernel
mergemaster -p
make -s installworld
mergemaster -U
shutdown -r now

zpool status
zpool upgrade backup20
zpool upgrade root
zpool upgrade tank

Done!

Cheers,

Andrew
