OPNSense 21.7 ZFS

So my current install was a Freebsd install using ZFS and then bootstrap to install 21.7.
Do I gain anything by reimaging my firewall with 21.7 iso vs keeping my current install that's been upgraded to 21.7.
I don't mind taking the extra downtime now if there is an actual difference between the two, or for all intents and purposes is the bootstrap install make my machine as stock opnsense as possible.

There's no real word difference between both methods. The bootstrap method leaves some default FreeBSD system files in place that are not bundled with OPNsense but since we do not rely on them either that's not an issue.

That's great. Both my installs went well so I saw no reason to go back and do this. But next time I need to setup a new unit I can save time, so glad to have ZFS.
