qbitk
finally migrated to my new thunderer
[09:14]
RandalSchwartzthe freebsd-10.3 iso is still mountable, right?
I'm probably gonna try the upgrade finally next week, and I'll want an ISO I can mount if I screw something up

now I just need to get brave enough to try the upgrade soon, or at least have enough time to mop up the mess if something goes wrong. It helpes that I'm doing a zfs-send/recv snapshotting offsite in case I totally tank it. [15:47]
mercutiooh, i read abit saying migrating to thunder, and thought you were migrating to thunder with your upgrade at first..
live upgrades are always scary :)
but you should be able to snapshot with zfs, and rollback if you run into issues
not that i've tried doing that :)
[15:55]
RandalSchwartzYeah. I was thinking I could dress-rehearse this on another VPS, except I can't buy a 9.3 VPS any more anywhere. :) [16:06]
mercutioyou could put through a special request
but damn, 9.3.. ? :)
actually 9 series was pretty stable
[16:11]
......... (idle for 44mn)
RandalSchwartzYeah, only EOLed for 6 months now. :)
actually - I could rehearse it in a laptop virtual machine...
install 9.3, send a snapshot down, activate that, then go through the series of steps I'll be doing for the upgrade.
Hmm. Would I have to mimic all the zfs mounts? probably
I have 22 of them
[16:55]
mercutiocan't you do a recursive send? [17:01]
RandalSchwartzyeah, thinking about it, I did that with zxfr to set up my offsize backup
so now I have a perfect 22 mirror
I'm just wondering if I can promote that to zroot, or whether I need to use something like BE's
[17:02]
mercutioi think you can just rename to zroot
if it's not off zroot
but if it's off zroot i'm not sure
[17:03]
RandalSchwartzOhh. so boot from cd, promote the snapshot, rename it from zroot/something to zroot? [17:04]
mercutiohmm i'm not sure if you can do that actually
you can only have zroot@preupgrade
or such as a snapshot
and rollback to that
opensolaris has seperate zroot and normal base system iirc
and creates a new zroot
[17:09]
RandalSchwartzbut I mean on my target machine... just ensure boot is zroot, then send zroot@snap [17:10]
mercutiooh freebsd is doing something similar [17:10]
RandalSchwartzthen promote snap? [17:10]

ok it looks like work is happening but legacy installs aren't likely to be that way
[17:10]
RandalSchwartzthat's an optional package, and yeah, I haven't installed that. [17:11]
***mjp2 has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) [17:11]
RandalSchwartzit was on my to-do list to investigate. :)
I have a feeling it'll take me less time to just do the update in the regular way than to rehearse the update, as long as I take a snapshot I can promote. :)
the only trouble is if I can't figure out how to rollback.
