    For beginners here: do not run apt upgrade!! Read the documentation on how to upgrade properly.

      It’s always good to read the docs, but I often skip them myself :)

      They have this nifty tool called pve8to9 that you could run before upgrading, to check if everything is healthy.

      I have a 3 node cluster, so I usually migrate my VMs to a different node and do my maintenance then, with minimal risks.

        Probably for the best. Upgrades on the first release haven’t had a stellar record

          Exactly, for example I missed the note that updating truenas to the latest version disables and hides all the virtual machines (theoretically they can get migrated to the new engine but it gave me some weird error. Luckily truenas can be downgraded easily.)

          Now, 3 months after the First release of the update, those virtual machines aren’t disabled and hidden anymore

    ZFS now supports adding new devices to existing RAIDZ pools with minimal downtime.

    Yes!!

    Yay, it only took 2 hours and the help of an llm since the upgrade corrupted my lvm metadata! Little bit of post cleanup and verifying everything works. Now I can go to sleep (it’s 5am).

    Wasn’t that bad, but not exactly relaxing. And when my VMs threw a useless error (‘can’t start need manual fix’) I might have slightly panicked…

      Thanks for posting this and reminding me to never go back to Proxmox. My Proxmox server killed itself and all VM’s twice before I moved onto HyperV.

    Not sure I want to check how far behind I am. How rough are these upgrades? I’ve got most things under Terraform and Ansible but am still procrastinating under the fear of losing a weekend regiggling things.

      I just did three nodes this evening from 8.4.1 to 9, no issues other than a bit of farting around with my sources.list files.

      Not noticing anything significant, but I haven’t tried the mobile interface yet.
