If you want to stick with FreeBSD, move to RELENG_13. The FreeBSD 13.2-R installers are from April 7, 2023: https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/ISO-IMAGES/13.2/ The fix for OpenZFS bug #15526 was added to FreeBSD on December 7, 2023: https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/sysutils/openzfs?id=117f55784d981833d6b51038afc215239382e651 https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/sysutils/openzfs-kmod?id=117f55784d981833d6b51038afc215239382e651 If I use a FreeBSD 13-2-R installer to create a new FreeBSD instance with ZFS file systems and without native encryption: 1. Will the installed FreeBSD instance contain corrupt files? 2. Will the installed FreeBSD instance contain OpenZFS bug #15526? David
