but:

at.. if i highlight:
Volume1 used 281,8 GiB 15% available 1,5 TiB compression - Compression Ratio - Status HEALTHY Readonly Comments

.. no upgrade button appears...

-->> If the Upgrade button does not appear, the pool is already at the latest feature flags and does not need to be upgraded.

but still flashing
WARNUNG: 11. September 2017 01:06 - New feature flags are available for volume Volume1. Refer to the "Upgrading a ZFS Pool" section of the User Guide for instructions.

so anyway ignore these message?

@Ericloewe...Link found! Thx!

but:

at.. if i highlight:

The Upgrade button is the rightmost one in the row of buttons on the bottom of the screen, the one with a green upwards arrow on it. Is it really not there? Just checked in my 11.0-U3 installation with overdue pool upgrades. The buttons on the bottom are overlooked frequently ... (and some images in your last message didn't make it through).

What's the output of zpool status Volume1?

Your images aren't working. Don't post them to third-party image hosting sites; this forum is entirely capable of hosting the images by itself. Either paste them into the message window, or use the "Upload a file" button to upload them.

You should see two entries for your pool. If you click on the top one, do you see an upgrade button?

given your current system, I would ignore the message and not upgrade the pool. It's a one way operation. If you don't upgrade it, you could roll back to an earlier version of FreeNAS.

Thx forum !!, i was able to find the upgrade button.. all fine now.. version 11 working fine and upgrade even if one way .. done.
maybe a good idea to make a image of the usb stick and backup config after major changes now..:>)
So this Thread can be closed now.

No, there's no need to image the USB stick, and the odds are it wouldn't be effective anyway. But yes, as we recommend all the time, keep backups of your config file.

As @danb35 said, the image probably wouldn't work. However you can add another flash drive to mirror your current install. See - http://doc.freenas.org/11/system.html#mirroring-the-boot-device

Upgrading a ZFS Pool --- what exactly is going on in that action

Two new feature flags have been added to ZFS recently in FreeNAS 11. Maybe this posting helps (hint: There is no need for action right now):

About OpenZFS feature flags in general:

Is there any Link what a ZFS Pool is and why its needed

From the documentation:
"In ZFS terminology, the storage that is managed by ZFS is referred to as a pool. The FreeNAS® graphical interface uses the term volume to refer to a ZFS pool."
http://doc.freenas.org/11/storage.html

It's also highly recommended to read Cyberjock's presentation
