introduce zfsboottest.sh script that will verify if it will be possible to boot from the given pool. # zfsboottest.sh system Where "system" is pool name of the pool we want to boot from. What is being verified by the script: - Does the pool exist? - Does it have bootfs property configured? - Is mountpoint property of the boot dataset set to 'legacy'? Dataset configured in bootfs property has to be mounted to perform more checks: - Does the /boot directory in boot dataset exist? - Is this dataset configured as root file system in /etc/fstab or set in vfs.root.mountfrom variable in /boot/loader.conf? By using zfsboottest tool the script will read all the files in /boot directory using ZFS boot code and calculate their checksums. Then, it will walk /boot directory using find(1) though regular file sytem and also read all the files in /boot directory and calculate their checksums. If any of the files cannot be looked up, read or checksum is invalid it will be reported and booting off of this pool is probably not possible. Some additional checks may be interesting as well. For example if the disks contain proper pmbr and gptzfsboot code or if all expected files in /boot/ are present. When upgrading FreeBSD, one should snapshot datasets that contain operating system, upgrade (install new world and kernel) and use zfsboottest.sh to verify if it will be possible to boot from new configuration. If all is good one should upgrade boot blocks, by eg.: # gpart -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada1 If something is wrong, one should rollback datasets and report the problems.

$FreeBSD$ This directory tree contains tools used for the maintenance and testing of FreeBSD. There is no toplevel Makefile structure since these tools are not meant to be built as part of the standard system, though there may be individual Makefiles in some of the subdirs. Please read the README files in the subdirs for further information.
