I have successfully patched the tree from date=2010.12.19.13.00.00 with the patch from Dec 18th as a starter and compiled the kernel and world without errors. With these, I have upgraded a zpool, which resides on a geli encrypted hd-partition and on which I have the homes, /usr, /var and /tmp and /compat. I upgraded the zfs as well. All is well so far and I have (apart from a probably unrelated geli issue¹ I am having) not noticed anything strange. I have now two questions: 1) Am I correct, that before upgrading the rpool and zfs I am booting from, I should run "gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0", if my freebsd-boot resides on the first gpt provider? 2) I noticed Martin Matuska's site patches more recent than Dec 18th, but marked nopython. What do these mean and can/should I try these also? I remember reading somewhere about this, but I cannot find anymore. ¹ http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2011-January/061098.html Thank you all for your help, kind regards, -- Christopher J.
