      I have an 1100 running 23.09.1 with ZFS. After it restarts, the changes I've made are lost. I also can't factory reset the unit with the USB or console because it does the same thing. How do I fix this?

        @SpecGlasses check https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/disk-lifetime.html. I think I’ve seen posts that if it’s read only it can behave like this due to ZFS caching.

        Also if you have a usb stick in it it can pull that file: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/restore-during-install.html#restore-using-the-external-configuration-locator-ecl

        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.
