This morning I decided to update my Raspberry Pi 4 to the latest patch of FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE. It's a UFS setup, running in read-only mode, as I mentioned in a previous post: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2024/05/31/freebsd-tips-and-tricks-native-ro-rootfs/
I remounted it in rw, rebooted, and started the process... halfway through, a power surge hit and everything shut down.
TIL: UFS is quite resilient to these situations, even on an SD card, and even during a freebsd-update.
