This tutorial is about FreeBSD 11-CURRENT snapshot 20150111 (pre-release version), so it deals in act II with hybrid UFS/ZFS setup, but FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE supports root-on-ZFS-in-UEFI-mode via standard installer. Release version of boot1.efi loader fully supports ZFS, so small UFS boot partition is no longer needed, and things are much simpler now.
- mpasternacki 10y agoIt doesn't work yet with GELI as far as I know, so for encrypted root /boot still needs to be on a separate partition. There was some work to support encrypted /boot, I'm not sure where it stands now, but I'd be very surprised if it supported encrypted ZFS.
- cyberpunk 10y agoYeah, I've not tried going to 11x yet as I'm not sure I can be bothered trying to deal with replacing the non-geli 'bootpool' I have on 10.x.. Sounds like a tricky process. I'll probably just rebuild it instead of trying to upgrade.
