ZFS Status Unknown

[JIsabelle218]

Greetings,

I just upgraded from: 8.0.4 Release P3 - amd 64 - 06-13-12 to: FreeNAS-8.3.0-RC1-x64 (r12617).

Did a GUI update and everything works fine, but I am getting a flashing alert light in the top right corner of the web interface with the following:

"WARNING: The volume Volume1 (ZFS) status is UNKNOWN: The pool is formatted using an older on-disk format. The pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable.Upgrade the pool using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done, the pool will no longer be accessible on older software versions."

Not really sure what this means or how to fix.

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you

You need to read the release notes http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/project/freenas/FreeNAS-8.3.0/RC1/README

before you upgrade to beta software -- I admit the current notes don't discuss 'zpool upgrade' and maybe they should make a very prominent mention of this.

Notice that if you upgrade to ZFS version 28, you will not be able to backgrade to an earlier version of ZFS. That may or may not be important to you.
