Hi all, great experience so far - hosting server @hetzner flawlessly boots Debian Trixie from a pool made from 2x spinning rust and 2x NVMe as a special vdev. Now how can I view and manage boot environments and other parameters from the running system? I'm missing something resembling bectl ... Thanks, |

There have been a few soft forks / rewrites of FreeBSD-centric bectl/beadm tools - though I don't really know any repositories / URLS off the top of my head. Our internal catch-all tool is zbm-kcl . It can be used to manipulate the command line arguments both for your boot environment and the ZFSBootMenu EFI bundle. I've historically just used the tooling built in to ZBM to create new boot environments when needed - which is honestly pretty rare for me. |
I had found the documentation but not how to install it on my Debian server. |

It's a shell script that can be downloaded directly from the GitHub repository or through our download helper.

Thanks - case closed. |

P.S. what an insanely great piece of software. Finally a Linux boot loader that "just works". ESP mirrored, swap mirrored, arbitrary zpool topology bootable. Just like FreeBSD 😛 |
