Hi all! This week I tried to upgrade to 14.0-RELEASE from 13.2p5 but I failed. I ran into an zfs error while running freebsd-update upgrade and merging all the config changes. I have many datasets that are used as disks for vms. The upgrade fails with the following error: ............. #...

Why should kernel be corrupted as soon as I edit loader conf or restore backup via cp *conf in /etc/ and /usr/local/etc. Once I do any of these, freebsd-version -kur reports 'unable to locate kernel'. Then I have to do fresh install again; custom build won't fix it and so is freebsd-update...
