can you do overlay file systems on freeBSD, so that the base OS and config is read-only and you overlay a read-write file system at a very late stage in booting IF that overlay is uncorrupted? when you've made changes to config, if the worst happens simply boot without the overlay if the overlay is good and fine then "push" it down to the base file system by remounting r/w and copying down. hope this is clear? the other choice would be to have two bootable installs on the disk and rsync one to the when you're certain it's working OK, so you have an instant fallback Paul --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
