Before making a big change inside a jail (like a major app upgrade), always take a ZFS snapshot using Bastille.
Instant rollback if things go wrong!

I've just used them, so time to repost this:

Reminder that SMART is not magic, in my experience, disks are dead long before SMART stops reporting them as 'PASSED'.
I actually came across the perfect example today: Two disks in my backup server are having issues, one is clearly broken, the other gave 2 checksum errors.
Despite this, neither disk is 'failed' according to SMART, one has 456 offline uncorrectable errors / pending sectors, the other one is fine.
Don't rely on broken hardware to tell you that it's broken.
@dvl I just see that there is os specific code in #zfs. But Imam clueless why they actually do it Linux and not in FreeBSD
Maybe @jimsalter has an idea?

Immutable Software Deploys Using ZFS Jails on FreeBSD / Conrad Research
｢ FreeBSD’s native support for ZFS snapshots and jails provides a powerful foundation for immutable deployments. By creating a new jail from a ZFS snapshot for every release, we get instant roll‑backs, zero‑downtime upgrades, and a clean, reproducible environment ｣

Just published a detailed write-up on tuning a ThinkPad T480 for power efficiency under FreeBSD 15.0-BETA5.
Achieving 6–8 hours of battery life with full suspend/resume, ZFS, Wi‑Fi, and XFCE.
