* ZFS on Root installation
* Boot-Environment support
* Command-Line versions of PC-BSD utilities, such as Warden, Life-Preserver and more.
* Support for full-disk (GELI) encryption without an unencrypted /boot partition
Updating
A testing update is available for 10.0.3 users to upgrade to 10.1-RC2. To apply this update, do the following:
edit: /usr/local/share/pcbsd/pc-updatemanager/conf/sysupdate.conf (As root)
Change “PATCHSET: updates”
to
“PATCHSET: test-updates”
% sudo pc-updatemanager check
This should show you a new “Update system to 10.1-RELEASE” patch available. To install run the following:
% sudo pc-updatemanager install 10.1-update-10152014–10
