Double timestamps in logs
I noticed some double timestamps in my logs recently. They started just after I upgraded the host to FreeBSD 12, but I am not convinced they are related.
This is from /var/log/messsages:

Upgrading to FreeBSD 12.0 from FreeBS...
Today I will upgrade knew from FreeBSD 11.2 to FreeBSD 12.0. It so happens that this is my last server at home which is still running 11.2, but I do have another server still on 11.2, but that one is at NYI.

Collecting statistics from bind / nam...
I use bind (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) as my DNS server. I am currently running bind 9.11.5P1 on FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p8 in a jail, with iocage as my jail manager. The OS, jail, and jail manager should play no part in how this works.
I have been collecting statistics from bind for some time. I have configured LibreNMS to collect the (Re [...]

Current FreeBSD versions will allow you to create a zroot zpool from which you can boot. However, when I created the main zpool for slocum (on Fri May 3 2:16 2013), that option did not exist.
You might ask: how do I know that date?

For future reference, this is the knew server … oh wait, I think it’s this server which is was mounted in the 4U chassis mentioned in this post. It runs a few jails, including Bacula regression testing services.
