Hello,
I am not sure what I did, because this computer sits here since 12.1 was new and I was learning at the time. I only boot it once in a month, do backups through LAN, turn it off. Now my problem is this: I wanted to upgrade to 13-RELEASE, but I wanted to do it with boot environments. As I found out, this computer is not capable of working with boot environments, because it's root zfs is just one big FS, it is not separated into zroot, zroot/ROOT, zroot/ROOT/default, zroot/ROOT/var, etc etc, everything is just one huge filesystem.
Now: is it possible to create the filesystems(datasets) as is customary with zfs on root and move everything into them and will it just work? (maybe with a bit of an inspiration from this dan langile's effort) Did anyone try to do this? I really don't know how I ended up with root being just one huge dataset. I must've borked something during installation.
I can also reinstall this machine from scratch, it's not that a big deal, I have nothing special configured there. My question is basically if it is doable, if yes, I will try it, because I can't pass any learning opportunity. If it is a waste of time and deemed to fail, I will reinstall from scratch.
