I've been going over this in my mind as I don't currently use LU yet, and this sort of stuff is getting me to hold off.
While LU might not work yet, you can always do a snapshot before the BFU/upgrade and then roll back to that if things break, which isn't completely LU, but it does give you the primary feature you seem to be relying on LU for (easy rollback). Thoughs from others? -brian ps: would anyone be interested in doing a ZFS presentation to a LUG in the UK? (I *think* London, but I'd have to double check). As much as I'd love to go to the UK to do it, I don't have the time or the money at the moment. ;) On Fri, Mar 30, 2007 at 10:02:43AM -0600, Lori Alt wrote: > Regrettably, LiveUpgrade is basically clueless when it > comes to zfs right now.
