A magazine created for the discussion of computer programming-related topics.
Please keep submissions on topic and of high quality. No image posts, no memes, no politics. Keep the magazine focused on programming topics not general computing topics. Direct links to app demos (unrelated to programming) will be removed. No surveys.
@[email protected] I think 1-3 are covered by freebsd-update IDS. 4 would be nice to add.
In my ideal world, we'd separate out the bits in /etc that users touch from the ones that are provided by the system and allow /etc to be a separate ZFS dataset. Unfortunately, the lack of this separation means /etc doesn't get mounted if you try because the scripts that mount all of the non-root ZFS datasets are in /etc.
@david_[email protected] @[email protected] I might be thinking wrong but I'm fairly sure if you took a bunch of snapshots at regular intervals you can use zfs diff between them to track file level changes?
It tells you a file has changed, then you did the files that have changed to see the actual changes?
@[email protected] @[email protected] Yes, the problem is that this will give changes for the entire boot environment (see problem previously mentioned) when you actually just want config file changes and rollback.
