I wish I had checked this earlier. I did a combined upgrade ubuntu<br>
16.04->18.04 and 0.28->0.29 on a BE and separate FE this week.<br>
<br>
As usual, I did a backup of the database first, then upgraded from<br>
0.28->0.29, then upgraded the release.<br>
<br>
Both systems are on lvm on top of raid, so I simply mirrored the root lv<br>
at each step. That way, if the system borked completely or partially, I<br>
would be able to mount the needed mirror volume and/or boot from it. I<br>
do this at every dist-upgrade, in fact, because sometimes the system<br>
gets broken...or a script overwrites/deletes something that you actually<br>
wanted to keep...<br>
<br>
Anyhow, this time, everything worked fine (except ffmpeg, but that is<br>
another can of worms...)<br>
<br>
I relate all this because clonezilla and co. seem very inflexible. It<br>
would be better to have a strategy for dealing with updates/upgrades in<br>
a seamless way. Of course, filesystems like zfs might be an even better<br>
option but I haven't been brave enough for that.<br>
