There is a problem with this though, we have howtos suggesting 64K for the size of the freebsd-boot gpt partition: https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/RAIDZ1 now that size isn't sufficient anymore. We should at least update these information soon. Also repartitioning could be problematic in certain scenarios. I think this change should be at least published in UPDATING and maybe also in the future release notes for 11.0. Personally I'll find a way of reorganizing my disks to fit this change, but it's something that could byte users. -- Guido Falsi
