FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE

Upgraded my FreeBSD system to 15.0-RELEASE

Watch out for that second run of freebsd-update that removes the prior libs… Seems that broke sudo as the pkg didn’t get upgraded (yet).

Odd, that!

Make sure you have a spare root shell or su works before running that last freebsd-update.

Now that sudo works, again… Don’t forget to upgrade your zpool:

% sudo zpool upgrade zroot
This system supports ZFS pool feature flags.

Enabled the following features on 'zroot':
  redaction_list_spill
  raidz_expansion
  fast_dedup
  longname
  large_microzap
  block_cloning_endian
  physical_rewrite

Pool 'zroot' has the bootfs property set, you might need to update
the boot code. See gptzfsboot(8) and loader.efi(8) for details.

Do I need to update the boot code? Maybe something like? (it’s an old, non-EUFI system)…

gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 da0

One way to find out…

% sudo reboot
Connection closed by remote host.

Nah, it was fine…
