List physical disks:
# camcontrol devlist
at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,ada0)
at scbus0 target 1 lun 0 (pass1,ada1)
at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (pass2,ada2)

Create partition table:
# gpart destroy ada0
# gpart create -s gpt ada2
ada2 created

Create zfs partition:
# gpart add -a 1m -t freebsd-zfs -l poudriere ada2
ada2p1 added

Create pool:
# gpart show -p ada2
=> 40 125829040 ada2 GPT (60G)
40 2008 - free - (1.0M)
2048 125825024 ada2p1 freebsd-zfs (60G)
125827072 2008 - free - (1.0M)

# zpool create -o altroot=/usr/local/ poudriere ada2p1

https://www.unixtutorial.org/zfs-performance-basics-disable-atime/
Disabling atime for ZFS:
# zfs get all poudriere |grep time
poudriere atime on default
poudriere relatime off default

# zfs set atime=off poudriere
# zfs get all poudriere | grep time
poudriere atime off local
poudriere relatime off default

If not enabled:
sysrc zfs_enable="YES"
echo 'zfs_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf

# zpool import poudriere
# zfs create -o mountpoint=/usr/local/poudriere poudriere/poudriere

reboot and check if the mountpoints are live

To rebuild a port and ports which this port depends on:

portmaster -DRf origin/port
portupgrade -Rf origin/port

To rebuild a port and ports which depends on it:

portmaster -Drf origin/port
portupgrade -rf origin/port

To list packages with their dependencies

pkg query -g "%n:%dn" '*'

Then use script to rebuild required – example for openssl

sh
REBUILD=$(pkg query -g "%n:%dn" '*' | grep openssl | cut -d : -f 1 | sort -u)
portmaster -D $REBUILD

[Update]
Try to rebuild mapping util

# pkg which /usr/local/libexec/icon-name-mapping
/usr/local/libexec/icon-name-mapping was installed by package icon-naming-utils-0.8.90_1            
# portmaster -D icon-naming-utils

Just in case mount yours ports tree on /usr/ports


# mount -t nullfs /usr/jails/ports /usr/ports

Build and install package

Setting kern.geom.raid.idle_threshold to lower value increases speed of rebuilding graid mirror and transfer on ada1 disk

ssh -D someport someserver.tld
where someport i s Your dynamic socks port which You will be use
ssh -D 1080 your.server.tld
