I have a couple remote servers running Gentoo Linux at the moment. They have 2 OS partitions and 1 swap partition. The 2 OS partitions are for a "Running OS" and an "Upgraded OS". They bounce back and forth when a major update is underway and upon reboot, the other partition basically "takes over".
The question I have is this.. Can I do this on FreeBSD? I've never tried this in the past, but would definitely like to now. I would also like to do GPT and ZFS on the systems.
Under the new FreeBSD system, I would like to have 2 OS partitions; an "Uploader" partition (downloads a new image then decompresses it to one of the OS partitions), and a swap partition. I have a dedicated 40GB drive for the OS and a dedicated 1TB drive for data.
