For beginners here: do not run apt upgrade!! Read the documentation on how to upgrade properly.
ZFS now supports adding new devices to existing RAIDZ pools with minimal downtime.
Yes!!
Not sure I want to check how far behind I am. How rough are these upgrades? I’ve got most things under Terraform and Ansible but am still procrastinating under the fear of losing a weekend regiggling things.
I just did three nodes this evening from 8.4.1 to 9, no issues other than a bit of farting around with my sources.list files.
Not noticing anything significant, but I haven’t tried the mobile interface yet.
Yay, it only took 2 hours and the help of an llm since the upgrade corrupted my lvm metadata! Little bit of post cleanup and verifying everything works. Now I can go to sleep (it’s 5am).
Wasn’t that bad, but not exactly relaxing. And when my VMs threw a useless error (‘can’t start need manual fix’) I might have slightly panicked…
Thanks for posting this and reminding me to never go back to Proxmox. My Proxmox server killed itself and all VM’s twice before I moved onto HyperV.
