zpool upgrade on boot stick and now?

[ObiTobi]

Hi,

I accidentally made zfs upgrade on the boot stick.
Then the following message appeared

Code:

Pool 'freenas-boot' has the bootfs property set, you might need to update
the boot code. See gptzfsboot(8) and loader.efi(8) for details.

I am now unsure - do I have to do something or not. I can't quite figure it out from the man page.

My system is running core - TrueNAS-13.0-U5.3

Code:

zpool status freenas-boot
  pool: freenas-boot
 state: ONLINE
  scan: scrub repaired 0B in 00:01:35 with 0 errors on Fri Nov 10 03:46:35 2023
config:

        freenas-boot  ONLINE       0     0     0
          da0p2       ONLINE       0     0     0

I have to boot the box in the next few days and it would be a total disaster if it doesn't boot then.
I just wanted to update only the workspools and then it happened :(

From your command output the boot pool is on da0:

Code:

=>      40  30719920  da0  GPT  (15G)
        40    532480    1  efi  (260M)
    532520  30179328    2  freebsd-zfs  (14G)
  30711848      8112       - free -  (4.0M)

To update the boot code on that drive use the following commands - I have performed this literally hundreds of times but this is adapted to your situation without a test, please go line by line and read the output if there is any. There should not be any error message.

Code:

mkdir -p /mnt/efi
mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0p1 /mnt/efi
mkdir -p /mnt/efi/efi/boot /mnt/efi/efi/freebsd
cp /boot/boot1.efi /mnt/efi/efi/boot/bootx64.efi
cp /boot/boot1.efi /mnt/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi
umount /mnt/efi
rmdir /mnt/efi

If that goes well your system should be able to boot.

Save a copy of your config file before you do anything else.

Save a copy of your config file before you do anything else.

...and then, just reinstall and upload the saved config file.

@Patrick M. Hausen - thank you very much. I will save my config and then try your commands. Next week I need reboot my box

No errors or another messages.

But is this correct, into efi partition are only these files?

Code:

mynas001# mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0p1 /mnt/efi
mynas001# find /mnt/efi/
/mnt/efi/
/mnt/efi/efi
/mnt/efi/efi/boot
/mnt/efi/efi/boot/BOOTx64.efi
/mnt/efi/efi/boot/startup.nsh
/mnt/efi/efi/freebsd
/mnt/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Yes, of course. What else would you expect?

 

[ObiTobi]

That was just a question. I remember from my Hackintiosh days that there were significantly more files in the EFI partition. But if that fits - it's perfect

Thanks again.

There's not much more in the EFI partition of a real Mac. A hackintosh is a different animal…
