This sounded like a bug.

No if draid is the only feature that you have enabled on an existing pool, but personally I don't recommend upgrading boot pool right now. The reason for that "No" answer is 1) the boot code do not currently support draid, and 2) enabling the feature won't activate it until draid vdev is added to the pool, which is quite unlikely in your case; note that if you do add draid vdev, your bootcode won't be able to boot from it anymore. On my personal laptop, old bootcode would boot pool with draid enabled but not activated just fine (note that the loader.efi on -CURRENT won't boot my P51, which I will start a separate discussion; I used FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-amd64-20201231-282381aa53a-255460-memstick.img and fixed my EFI loader and it worked fine with the draid-enabled boot ZFS pool).

zpool upgrade to draid feature: does it require updated zfs boot code ?
Hi! Short question: Does a zpool upgrade on 14.0 (current) for the draid feature require a boot code update ? Long version of the same question: I've upgraded my testbox to FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #0 main-c256294-g2cf84258922f and the system listed the zfs-feature draid as available if I do an zpool upgrade. The pool resides on two nvme drives: mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 nvd0p4 ONLINE 0 0 0 nvd1p4 ONLINE 0 0 0 Normally, when I do the zpool upgrade for the pool, and the zpool upgrade also requires an upgrade to the bootcode, some message is displayed, reminding me to do so. With the draid update, no message was displayed. Does it require the bootcode update anyway or, if not, why not ? gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 nvd0 gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 nvd1 -- p...@opsec.eu+49 171 3101372Now what ? ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
