SOLVED Alert about 'New feature flags'

[sdspieg]

I just used the upgrade option from the webgui and it worked like a charm. But I now get a yellow light-error saying: "WARNING: New feature flags are available for volume StephanNAS. Refer to the "Upgrading a ZFS Pool" section of the User Guide for instructions." I did upgrade the pool when I installed the beta. So what does that error actually mean and what should I do to get the green light back? Thanks

If you query the status of the pool in the shell, then it will show you whether the pool has indeed been upgraded(By not telling you it needs upgrading). It is possible you are confusing Freenas upgrade versus ZPOOL upgrade.
If you did everything right, then refresh you GUI. Could simply be a delay thing on the GUI side.

Pool StephanNAS has not been upgraded. If you don't intend on reverting your pool back to 9.2.1.x, then you can upgrade the pool, otherwise I would leave it for now until the Release version of Freenas 9.3 .

You can check the Oracle procedure on the upgrade:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/gcikw/index.html

Yep. I had forgotten the '-a' after zpool upgrade. All fixed. Thanks!
