I've been trying to come up with a multiboot setup that would also allow me to do snapshots/clones and restore. I got it working with Debian 12 and almost working with Debian 10 (Debian 12 set up my zpool with some features that 10 doesn't support... but it does try to boot :sweat_smile:)
Seems like a pretty slick solution. I'm starting to understand the power of the filesystem when you use it for the entire disk rather than as a bolt-on you setup after install.
Andrew O'Brien (Sep 18 2024 at 19:17):I had to nuke my whole zpool and start over with --compatibility set to zol-0.7, but now it's all good! I have full system snapshots and can muck about with the OS as I please. If I mess anything up I can restore from the boot menu. Or I can clone a new OS as a workspace.
Next up... get SSH to the boot menu working so I can reboot an pick the OS from a different room.
