      Dear Forum,

      This is pfSense(2.7.2-RELEASE (amd64) running on vmWare 8 with a default emulated NVME controller 0:0. We get a whole bunch of ZFS errors every minute in the system log and the console screen. Is there anything that can be done?

      Thanks so kindly,
      Alfredo.

        @alfredo IIRC this is a FreeBSD issue. I get similar error on my FreeBSD machines in ESXi 7. Does not happen very often but a few times daily. Has never caused any real issues.

        Have you tried changing the VMware SCSI controller to LSI SAS instead of VMware Paravirtual? I have read that this can help. I have done so and the LSI SAS machine still has some of these errors.

        Cheers,
