Question about Deleting Boot environments
-
Hello fellow Netgate Community members can you please help?
Should users try not to delete any boot environments? Do they act like Hypervisor snapshots and require the other snapshots to work?
I want to delete 23.09 it has major Snort package issues
-
@JonathanLee Yes you can even remove everything other than your actual one.
-
It won't prevent other snaps booting by removing some of them.

What if one was to default a boot environment would the rest still be accessible or would they no longer show in the GUI?
-
No defaulting the config in one BE should have no effect on other BEs.
-
@stephenw10 now I can do all sorts of tests yeahhhh
-
Just remember (ask me how I know!) that unlike a VM snapshot once you default or otherwise break a BE you cannot roll it back. You can only switch to a different BE.
So if you want to have that point remain available be sure to create a new BE snap each time before you run tests etc.Steve
