Actually, it would also work for disk cloning on physical installs which often becomes neccessary with cheap SSD disks or when replacing them with larger ones.

IMHO it should probably be the default.

Considering the fact that SSD's are very sensitive to poor alignment of the partitions I am not a big fan of cloning them like we did with HDD's in the past to be honest :)

but I wonder who needs OpnSense other than as a 24/7 appliance?

Totally agree!

Is there any timeframe for the release of this fix?

The release of OPNsense 26.1 is planned for the end of January according to a message in another thread and according to @franco's reply the fix should be in that release so I guess you will have to wait another 8 to 11 days :)

Das ist eine komplizierte Geschichte

Ich stimme zu. Jedenfalls verstehe ich nicht den Sinn der Sache.

Wenn du einen anderen Lösungsansatz hast bin ich ganz Ohr.

Dafür wäre es vielleicht besser, die Herausforderung zu erklären, denn die versuchte Umsetzung.

Der OpenVPN Server läuft bei uns nicht auf der Firewall, sondern auf einem eigenen virtuellen Rechner. Mein Chef will, dass das so bleiben soll.

Das verkompliziert die Sache gewiss, warum auch immer man das so haben möchte, es sollte aber dennoch umsetzbar sein.

thank you for your input <3
looks like a manual migration is necessary

for others researching this here is a guide i found in the web:
https://homenetworkguy.com/how-to/migrate-from-isc-dhcp-to-dnsmasq-or-kea-dhcp-in-opnsense/

And thank you for the link to the guide which answered some minor questions that I had about some options and the workflow that I had planned :)

Now running KEA DHCP instead of ISC DHCP and everything seems to work fine after a quick 10 minute or so migration thanks to the beautiful Import/Export option for DHCP IPv4 Reservations via .csv files!

interesting i certainly will move my sonos speaker to the iot vlan. Thanks.
Do you know what would be needed to do the same thing for a harmony hub and particularly for it to be able to communicate with a home assistant integration (emulated hue)?

For the time being i left my home assistant in my trusted network. But i want to move it in iot vlan and still be able to control devices with my phone in trusted vlan.

Not sure that is a good idea. We try to avoid disk manipulation if not strictly necessary. We've also never messed with /etc/fstab for that reason. Except for missing bootloader updates (which also FreeBSD is working towards) I think this is a good policy.

Actually, it would also work for disk cloning on physical installs which often becomes neccessary with cheap SSD disks or when replacing them with larger ones. IMHO it should probably be the default. I can only imagine exotic cases where it would not work as intended, like when somebody wants to leave room on the disk for another OS. There was a case just these days, but I wonder who needs OpnSense other than as a 24/7 appliance?

Well it cannot renew, but the interface reset is indeed what you want it will release and get a new one.

Wow! 🤯

Hehe!  It's been used for the Nano images in particular on first boot for a long time, but it's indeed reusable and works for VMs just as well.
