      Hi Iovr

      Is it stable in the factory installations?

        We have not seen any stability issues on the particular hardware in the XG-7100, which is where we've tested it.

          @bendroid I have a ZFS filesystem as well. I had to do

          zfs set readonly=off zroot/ROOT/default
          

          and was able to mv files around. After making the changes, the property can be reset to default using,

          zfs inherit readonly  zroot/ROOT/default
          

          The pool properties out of the box are as follows (for reference),

            @trumee Thank you alot, but I circumvented that issue with using developer builds. It's stable anough for my home and you get to try new fancy features. If you don't havea productive environment, I can only recommend going with the developer builds.

              Did 2.4.4-snapshot already have the driver for X553 NICs of C3000 series from FreeBSD 11-stable/11.2-Release?

                Current 2.4.4 snapshots are built on FreeBSD 11.2-RC3. You should test one if you can The more testing they see the faster we can find any issues such as drivers not working with your hardware.

                  Yes, I have just installed the latest Devel Version (pfSense-CE-memstick-2.4.4-DEVELOPMENT-amd64-latest) on a SuperServer 5019A-FTN4 and the network interfaces are working.

                    Is there a safe upgrade path from 2.4.4-snapshot to release version?

                      Yes, it should be a direct upgrade from a snap to stable once 2.4.4 is released. Just set the repo back to 'latest stable'.

                      However if you cannot afford the downtime of reinstalling you perhaps shouldn't be running a snapshot.

                        @stephenw10 I changed the system to 2.4.4 snapshots and received the following errors on first boot,

                        The zpool is missing some feature flags. Not sure whether this was the case with 2.4.3,

                               the pool may no longer be accessible by software that does not support
                               the features. See zpool-features(7) for details.

                          If you clear that and reboot do you see it again?
                          If not it was probably just temporary during the upgrade when those php libs are updated.
