For me, the latest snapshot upgrades OK from a VM that previously failed. Everything should be OK now, but additional feedback for upgrades/fresh installs would help.
-
Previously failed 2.4.4.a.20180713.1056 now upgraded successfully.
-
Yup all fine.
Thanks!
-
Me too. I've upgraded from 2.4.4.a.20180713 without a problem.
-
Just updating hasn't cured it for me - I'm still having issues on 2.4.4.a.20180723.2155
I'm adding the zfs_load line to loader.conf now and will see how that goes next time I need to reboot.
-
Looks like editing the config manually sorted it (just in case anyone else is in the same boat.)
-
If you have had already broken installation, where config entry was missing, it is expected that you will fail to boot, until you fix it manually. Upgrade does not "fix" this. Because it should not do it. Globally it's not broken and it got broken once or twice before only on development releases. There is no need to add some code to fix this if it never going to broke itself on stable releases.
-
You can say that, but it wasn't the behaviour I was expecting - I expected if an update broke it then an update will fix it and included the info for others who may have had the same expectation.

Except this update broke things in a way that there wasn't a good way for the firewall to determine what went missing. We maybe could have guessed ZFS based on the mounted filesystems and tossed it back in, but that's a lot of extra work to fix a small number of systems that landed on a problem snapshot that was only a problem for a few days.
They are development snapshots, there will always be risk involved with running them.
-
Broken system is a broken system and with these development snapshots you should be prepared to nuke your system at short notice and reinstall/restore from a backup if problems arise. Surely you're not expecting these snapshots to be production ready?
-
@jimp - , that’s entirely fine by me. I mentioned it in case others had the same expectations I did... nothing more, nothing less. Loving your work, as ever.
