FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE was released a few days ago. This means it’s time to upgrade the FreeBSD running on my nas. For the most part, this was all what I did: After it’s been upgraded, I also need to update the Zpool. Let’s upgrade the zpool as suggested: Next is to update the boot code.

Upgrading tank was easy, all I needed to do was running this command: # zpool upgrade tank This system supports ZFS pool feature flags....
I’m running ZFS on Fedora 23 and I notice that there’re new features which can be enabled in the existing pool. Get the ZFS version for tank’s pool: Huh?
