      Without seeing more details about exactly what you have in the dashboard it's almost certainly normal. 2.5.2 and later make use of more ZFS datasets which the dashboard sees as different filesystems.

      And RAM disks are always UFS the way they are setup now, so that's also normal.

            That is a bit unusual, what shows up at the CLI if you run mount?

            What about if you run df -h?

            Also, what is in /etc/fstab?

            And finally: What packages do you have installed?

              @jimp as I say Jim, it was fine under 2.5.1 and only appeared after upgrading to 2.6.0.

              From those commands, it appears to be gui specific

                Curious why it's not showing up right on yours, it works as expected here and shows the full ZFS dataset path:

                My df output looks identical, but my widget has:

                  Can you show the output of the following two commands:

                  1. /bin/df -Tht ufs,zfs,cd9660

                  2. /bin/df -Tht ufs,zfs,cd9660 | /usr/bin/awk '{print $1, $2, $3, $6, $7;}'

                        How about the output of mount?

                        It's quite odd that you're seeing that but one of our devs says we've seen it before.

                            I was able to reproduce it here easily with a fresh ZFS VM and RAM disks.

                            It looks to be like a problem with df -t <type> unfortunately.

                            The full list is OK:

                            /dev/md0              ufs       38M     76K     35M     0%    /tmp
                            /dev/md1              ufs       58M    9.5M     44M    18%    /var
                            devfs                 devfs    1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /var/dhcpd/dev
                            

                            Filtering to just UFS is OK:

                            : df -Tht ufs
                            Filesystem  Type    Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
                            /dev/md0    ufs      38M     76K     35M     0%    /tmp
                            /dev/md1    ufs      58M    9.5M     44M    18%    /var
                            

                            Trying to filter just ZFS gets the wrong info about /var:

                            : df -Tht zfs
                            Filesystem            Type    Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
                            pfSense/ROOT/default  zfs      29G    670M     28G     2%    /
                            pfSense/cf            zfs      28G     96K     28G     0%    /cf
                            /dev/md1              ufs      58M    9.5M     44M    18%    /var

                            pfSense/cf/conf       zfs      28G    616K     28G     0%    /cf/conf
                            /dev/md1              ufs      58M    9.5M     44M    18%    /var
                            /dev/md1              ufs      58M    9.5M     44M    18%    /var
                            /dev/md1              ufs      58M    9.5M     44M    18%    /var
                            /dev/md1              ufs      58M    9.5M     44M    18%    /var
                            /dev/md1              ufs      58M    9.5M     44M    18%    /var
                            

                            I'll work on a Redmine for it, not sure if it's something we can fix and push upstream or will have to wait for a FreeBSD fix on.
