Description

Enabling /var as a RAM disk conflicts with existing mounts in ZFS systems.

This most obviously presents as a problem the pkg system. The firewall is unable to check for packages or updates.

ERROR: It was not possible to identify which pfSense kernel is installed

[22.05-BETA][root@2100-2.stevew.lan]/root: pkg info -x pfSense
pkg: No package(s) matching pfSense

This happens if you enable RAM disks on the system that is installed as ZFS but also if you restore a config in which RAM disks are enabled.

Disbaling RAM disks will not restore access.
