Bug #7086
closed
stale zfs file systems
100%
Description
I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature. Seems the 'Auto install'-values are used from the native FreeBSD while pfSense installs only in a part of it. anyways: executing a 'zfs mount -a' could cause a problem...
While after boot this is the situation:
- df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
zroot/ROOT/default 233633892 613456 233020436 0% /
devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev
/dev/md0 3484 120 3088 4% /var/run
devfs 1 1 0 100% /var/dhcpd/dev
devfs 1 1 0 100% /cf/named/dev
But: There are some unused file systems in the pool...

I've reviewed which volumes are created during install on ZFS and also made changes on rc script to mount /var and /tmp from ZFS or memory depending of the MFS config option.
It's necessary a fresh install to test it

Tried a fresh install, maybe there is a problem with this change?
It gave me
pkg: No package(s) matching pfSense-kernel-*

Yes, it broke ZFS install and I see why. I'll push a fix soon

A fresh install using next round of snapshots is required to validate the fix. Thanks!

Fresh install worked without problems. Can't say anything about the original problem, not enough knowledge in that area, sorry.
The System Information Widget seems to show unnecessary partitions now, though. More on an updated install, less on a fresh install, but I don't think they should show at all.
Do we need to reinstall old ZFS installations or can we fix them manually regarding the problems in this bug?

Unfortunately they need to be reinstalled

What are the risks to continue using updated versions without reinstall?

There are no risks, it will only show a lot of different partitions. If you install a snapshot with my first attempt to fix, that didn't work, you will have the problem reported in https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7086#note-3
