The story behind my zfs lto llvm rust musl Gentoo install effort earlier this week well defined: i came as far as an installed system, but Rust wouldn't emerge.

@… I don't use NetBSD, but the wiki that you linked uses this phrase:
"… if you are using a release with ZFS, …"

@… thanks.
Logically: anyone who chooses to reject FreeBSD on that basis may also choose to reject all projects that use OpenZFS. I can not recommend such sweeping rejections.
Two of the three commits:
― range_tree: use zfs_panic_recover() for partial-overlap remove · openzfs/zfs@6495daf — <

"… more likely to happen when dealing with usb attached external interfaces. …"
On the many occasions when I have lost then regained USB connectivity to a mobile hard disk drive that hosts a ZFS pool, and (naturally) it becomes impossible to run any zpool command on the pool:
– there's never an endless freeze.
Restart…

Those were some interesting 5 and some hours. Gentoo, OpenRC, encrypted zfs, llvm/musl, ThinLTO, zfsbootmenu. Tomorrow Rust, nushell & Cosmic. I am booted into the CLI already on the installed system. Noice!

@… humans still make mistakes that, unless you have at least *some* previously acquired knowledge on said topic, are believable.
FreeBSD-related mistakes such as:
― ZFS is not default
― ZFS uses more space than UFS.

Mostly (points at himself) it's staring you in the face. I wanted for the work laptop: musl, zfs and encryption, no systemd, the latest KDE. And then i remembered the excellent write-up by @… , installing a Chimera Linux base with all that. And Chimera has 6.7 in the repos. A perfect combo!

@… nice outcomes …
freebsd: unifying buffer/cache memory usage for both ufs and zfs by crocidb · Pull Request #2033 · htop-dev/htop — https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/pull/2…

Let it be known that I'm not that good in the Art of Carefully Reading, a long forgotten skill. Of course good is not always what I want. So i looked up this recent blogpost by @… , describing how to get zfs et al up and running on Chimera and I applied it to the new Casuarina Linux. Works very well, cool! Prior to that I missed some clear instruction…

There's a very much up to date Cosmic repo (3rd party) for VoidLinux 🥳 Had an eye on it for some time already.
Question is: zfs/glibc or musl/xfs? I like the first, but I also like to put that musl to the test. Tomorrow will tell.

FreeBSD rescue(8) lacks instructions for users of root-on-ZFS:
<https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=rescue&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-current> (2022)

reboot -r
– no longer reboots the operating system. Not reproducible with FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE.
In the ALT text here (auto-detected):

No such thing as a perfect one. Gentoo was a hot mess. Alpine went very well, with the excellent tutorial of ZFS Bootmanager.
But..... the first time I was really disappointed with a DE on there (Cosmic).
Latest version, all graphics drivers installed and still the old CPU throttling bug, reaching 99.7 or a 100%.
Everywhere else that happened last in November 2025 or so. A pity. On we go.

@… which version of FreeBSD (or ZFS or OpenZFS) was that?
How long ago, roughly?

UltraGeeking:
Using Slackware Mango to ssh into a new Gentoo install (musl, openrc, rust, cosmic, zfs if it all works out this time) and writing a install manual is a very nice way to spend this Saturday morning 🤓

FreeBSD boot loaders
The loader should be upgraded before a root-on-ZFS pool is upgraded.
For a major upgrade of the OS – with or without an upgrade of the pool: should the loader be upgraded before first boot of the upgraded kernel?
