Can someone give me a sanity check here please. Running 12.0-RELEASE-p7 on a T480 laptop. It's my first experience with FreeBSD and, despite a few hurdles, has proved to be a pretty much painless process. I chose ZFS over UFS and am now trying to get to grips with the idea of snapshots.
I have looked at zfs list and see:
Now both the handbook and Michael Lucas' book show the zroot should not be mounted? Is this something I need to rectify?
I then want to create a snapshot of the system that I can rollback to. Am I correct in assuming that I am going to sanpshot zroot/ROOT/default if I want the entire system? Is this best practice?
TIA
I have looked at zfs list and see:
