        @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. 😉

            @daplumber

            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.

            Congrats...that plus sign sure looks next to pfSense, doesn't it? The only issue here is dpinger stops and just clicking start, starts it right up.

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

                Pre-2.7.2/23.09: 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 restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                        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.

                            I tried to go from 21.05.1 to 22.01 on my SG-2440. It did not survive the reboot. When I power up, there is no console, and only a sold red status light until it self-powers down after a bit. Could have been a coincidental hardware failure, but figured I'd see if it happens to any one else. Was on the latest bios (17). Support told me it's likely a system board failure. Hope others have better luck! Spun up an old power hungry P4 desktop till I figure out a replacement :/

                                Got some bravery drink today and updated to zfs !!!

                                The process overall was not too difficult.
                                Most of the time and effort was spent connecting my pfS box to a monitor and keyboard as it runs headless all the time.

                                And then figuring out how to change the boot order etc.

                                After restoring config.xml I went to the gym after I came back all packages were installed, except Avahi (!) - why? no clue. Installed it too.

                                Then updating to 22.01 was uneventful.

                                So now I see:

                                1eaf04a2-8ae9-4c8e-8ed1-4494128af40b-image.png

                                RAM is up very little.

                                Do I need to do anything about the zfs settings? Any cool zfs features?

                                Thx

                                  No, it's pretty much read-only. For this release at least.

                                    Just upgraded, biggest disappointment is the 10Gb SFP+ ports still show a speed of "Unknown <rxpause,txpause>" on a 7100.

                                    Or stated another way... It went smoothly with no real issues. This was a USB reload to get the current ZFS layout.

                                      Using DAC cables? That's unlikely to change. It's a hardware limitation.
