I've just upgraded from 9.10 to 11.1-u4 and both of my jails (Transmission and Plex created under 9.10) are throwing this error to the console:

Code:
Apr 15 09:57:18 plexmediaserver_1 dhclient[4833]: send_packet: Invalid argument
Apr 15 09:57:23 transmission_1 dhclient[6519]: send_packet: Invalid argument
Apr 15 09:57:43 plexmediaserver_1 last message repeated 3 times
Apr 15 09:57:51 transmission_1 last message repeated 3 times
Apr 15 09:59:26 plexmediaserver_1 last message repeated 6 times
Apr 15 09:59:25 transmission_1 last message repeated 3 times
Apr 15 10:06:31 plexmediaserver_1 last message repeated 5 times
Apr 15 10:07:22 transmission_1 last message repeated 7 times


Apart from this, everything appears to be functioning normally, but I would like to know root cause on this issue. Any insights on where I should start?

Supermicro X11SSH-CTF Motherboard
Intel Xeon E3-1275 v5 SkyLake 3.6 GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1151 80W
FreeNAS-11.1-U4
11.1-STABLE FreeBSD 11.1-STABLE #2 r321665+366f54a78b2(freenas/11.1-stable)
32551MB Crucial RAM

I do have IPv4 DHCP enabled on both jails.

My Ethernet interface is a lagg:
lagg0 (lacp: ix0, ix1)

I would suggest using static IP addresses instead, just to see if that makes the error go away.
I bet the root cause it that the jails are still running some BSD 10 software where the host OS is BSD 11.

Here's what I've tried:

1. Transmission Plugin would not start, but Jail would start correctly, under following conditions
  • Turned off DHCP in Jail configuration and appropriately filling in IPV4 Network, Start Address, and End Address
  • Turned off DHCP in the specific transmission jail and the correctly filling in the IPV4 Address, Netmask and Gateway
2. Transmission Plugin would not start, but Jail would start correctly, under following conditions
  • Turned on DHCP in Jail configuration
  • Turned off DHCP in the specific transmission jail and the correctly filling in the IPV4 Address, Netmask and Gateway
3. (Original Condition) Transmission Plugin would start and Jail would start correctly, under following conditions
  • Turned on DHCP in Jail configuration
  • Turned on DHCP in the specific transmission jail
Still getting errors:
