Hello, I'm new to FreeBSD and enjoyed it very much, but I found that uninstallation of a port is not easy, cause of the dependencies. There is also some ports like pkg_cutleaves, but you have to know the dependencies anyway.
So, I think it is better to make the relevant directories into ZFS subvolumes and snapshotting before & after the installation of a port, and if something goes wrong or you don't need it anymore, restore it from the snapshot.
My question is, which directories are relevant for this. I believe /var and /usr except /usr/home should be there, but I'm not sure for other directories such as /etc, /bin or /sbin, etc..
any clues or are there better solution for this job?
