      If you repeat that command does it come back the same every time?

            @stephenw10 Should I leave my unit untouched in case you need to refer to something or is it ok for me to proceed getting it working with UFS? I rely on this for VPN to work access and it needs to be up & ready by Thursday evening.

              @kom I would just get it back online for your VPN. We're working on tracking down a unit that has this same UBoot internally.

                Hi,

                I have a recently purchased SG-1100 and requested the new firmware so that i could start working with a ZFS-based install. I'm getting the same error on my device:

                U-Boot 2017.03-armada-17.10.2-g6a6581a-dirty (Nov 01 2018 - 16:04:57 -0300)
                ...
                ERROR: cannot open /boot/lua/loader.lua: invalid argument.

                Should i just wait for a new recovery firmware to be released or what is the guidance?
                I'm just starting out learning pfSense so it's not a big deal to wait a little while...

                Thanks,
                Stevie.

                  @stevie_0815 Install with UFS. When the fix comes out, you can backup your config, reinstall with ZFS, then restore your config. Boom, done.

                    @kom Thanks for the lightning fast response, will do as suggested.. Maybe a naive question but any idea about the fix ETA? Not (yet) familiar with how quickly this stuff gets turned around.

                        @stevie_0815 We're looking into a fix.
