Yeah, I'm pretty conservative with zfs upgrades but have had no |
16 |
issues. The one thing I wish is that there were better documentation |
17 |
of grub compatibility. I have a root partition I haven't upgraded the |
18 |
features on because I have no idea whether it would break grub, and |
19 |
you can't reverse this. Sure, I have backups but I really don't want |
20 |
to deal with the hassle of restoring a filesystem over some feature |
21 |
I'd have to google to even know what it does. |
