      @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.

        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

            Snort failed to update, maybe unrelated to this topic
            Just 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.

                      @bpsdtzpw I have a ZFS root, what "Disks" section?

                      Here's my "zfs list":

                      [22.01-RELEASE][USER@MYSYSTEM]/home/USER: zfs list

                      zroot/var           6.82M   772G  6.82M  /var
                      

                      I've tried to upload a screenshot, but it keep erroring on post.Screen Shot 2022-02-24 at 13.46.25.jpg

                          @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.

                                          Wonder what other users do/think?

                                          I have zero interest in 22.01, but to each their own.

                                            Exactly, the separate disks widget and the zfs widget are new in 22.01/2.6.
