feature flags

[Hyperion]

Hi

Just upgraded my FreeNas from 8 to 9 point something, was a full install.
Went well, pool intact.

Now I check the status
status: The pool is formatted using a legacy on-disk format. The pool can
still be used, but some features are unavailable.
action: Upgrade the pool using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done, the
pool will no longer be accessible on software that does not support feature
flags.

Is anyone falling for this?

Lots of people do. :/ There's a warning in the manual that there is no going back once you do it. I'm still on v28 for a reason. ;)

There are features that feature flags makes available. It's not something that you should do lightly, but there are definite potential benefits for the feature flags, especially in the future. It's a decision you should research and answer for yourself.

I think the whole FreeNas thing is great.
Should have a paypal thing going.
But at a certain stage u get screwed by “Its free now but...”
Or by intrusive spam.
Hey, Facebook is free!
