Hi Jan, Most of my upgrades went smooth, other than being pestered by files that are only changed in verssion no and/or comments. This is a rather old server that I installed zfs-on-root, when there were only howtos and no automagic installers. So I guess that it might even be from the 9.x days. It went through several manual upgrades and at least once a online disk replacement with growing disks (500G to 4T). Al that went well, but could very well be that some odd bits and pieces were (missing) left overs. So Don't excluded that there is pilot error involved. I tried Google to find more about fixing the system when this error got reported, but only a rather hefty session with Andriy Gapon, I think. And that was for 9.x or so. Nothing else... So given my need to go on, I just reinstalled. --WjW
