The question asked by Yassine is interesting for me. I've been a FreeBSD user for some years. After having used Linux for 20 years, I took the decision to stop using it a little bit because of some technical reasons,mainly tied to the package management. Now that I'm using FreeBSD,I don't regret that choice,because the package management of FreeBSD rocks. That of some Linux distributions is unnecessarily complicated and problematic because of the problem of the unresolved dependencies. The question of Yassine is intriguing me a lot,even because I've used nixos for some time and I was impressed by that system management and I would ask to the freebsd forum if is possible,in some way,to create a menu,like the grub one,where the user can choose,before that FreeBSD start booting,which zfs snapshot they want to use.
Mario, I have been introduced to Boot Environments when I was exploring openindiana about a year and a half ago. It's one of the forks of Solaris based on OpenSolaris (and the illumos kernel). You might find this discussion interesting as it mentions how all of that is done automatically in that OS: https://www.mail-archive.com/openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org/msg25345.html Best, -- yassine -- sysadm +213-779 06 06 23 http://about.me/ychaouche Looking for side gigs.
