      Hi,

      I updated a ZOTAC ZBOX CI325 nano Mini PC (the ones with the re0 NICs) from 2.5.2 > 2.6.0. Everything went well except that my Wireguard tunnels didn't come up automatically. I had to perform a reboot of the box as a restart of the tunnels from VPV>Wireguard did not bring them up.

        Upgraded to 2.6.0 with no glitch, very smooth process this time!

        Stopped short to do => 22.01 upgrade.
        The main reason I am not sure why I should do it.

        Wonder what other users do/think?

        Note - I am thinking to get a Nergate appliance just to support them, so far did not find a good option for my 4 port custom I5 mini PC replacement.

          @bob-dig What sort of problems? Slow WAN? I updated to 2.6 on Hyper-V (2022) and WAN speeds tanked (2Mb/1Mb down from 1Gb/200Mb). Unusably slow after an in-place upgrade or vanilla install. LAN speeds are normal.

            @boelter WAN-Speed is ok for me (full 250 MBits/s), inter (V)Lan communication is not usable. But someone else seems to have your problem, see here.

            @boelter said in To 2.6.0 and => 22.01 or not ? that is the question :):

            or vanilla install.

            Good to know, thanks.

              @boelter It's probably not your case, but I checked WAN speed on the wired box and a Windows VM on 1GB fiber and it seems actually better on 2.6.0
              FYI

                  Just went from 2.5.latest to 2.6.0 then 22.01with no apparent issues.

                  Hardware is a Dell Optiplex Desktop with a 1TB SSD (it's what I had at the time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so... )

                  Other than forgetting to input my GELI password on the console during reboot it went fast and smooth.

                  ZFS widget is nifty!

                  Bunch of packages:

                  Name Version
                  acme 0.6.10_1
                  arping 1.2.2_2
                  arpwatch 0.2.0_6
                  Backup 0.5_6
                  bandwidthd 0.7.4_5
                  Cron 0.3.7_5
                  Filer 0.60.6_5
                  iperf 3.0.2_5
                  mtr-nox11 0.85.6_2
                  nmap 1.4.4_2
                  nut 2.7.4_10
                  openvpn-client-export 1.6_4
                  pfBlockerNG 2.1.4_26
                  RRD_Summary 2.0_1
                  Service_Watchdog 1.8.7_1
                  Status_Traffic_Totals 2.3.2_2
                  sudo 0.3_6
                  tftpd 0.1.3_3
                  WireGuard 0.1.6_1

                  Wireguard was actually installed after upgrade.

                  Houston, everything appears nominal...

                    Finally did 2.6.0 => 22.01 with no issues :)

                    I am still "afraid" to switch to ZFS, need to become brave and bite the bullet.

                      Hmmm, missing an indicator on the ZFS widget for individual filesystems that are RAM based. You know, non-critical ones like /var... Did I miss something?

                        On the dashboard page, scroll down to "Disks" and click the ">/" icon. You should see /tmp and /var using filesystem tmpfs.

                            The Disks widget is separate:

                              @stephenw10 OK I found the disks widget, for some reason it disappeared off my dashboard during the upgrade. Weird.

                              Why on earth would you NOT include basically the output of “zfs list” in the ZFS widget? I’m a ZFS fan, don’t mind me… :-)

                                Well it basically shows 'zpool status'. Feature requests welcome. 😉

                                      It's inside the System Information section, at the bottom of the column, not separate.

                                      Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                                      When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.
