To 2.6.0 and => 22.01 or not ? that is the question :)

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

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.

@steveits Apparently not...

@cool_corona The quoted picture is from 2.6/22.01. :)

Here is mine... widget ppfSense+

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 :/

Here is mine. Widget pfSense 2.6.0

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:
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.

@stephenw10 1 DAC cable and 1 SFP+ Not the end of my world, just a nice to have...
