OPNsense 27 upgrade – warnings and ZFS feature notice

[(MARLOO)]

Hello,

After upgrading to OPNsense 27, I initially saw repeated warnings in Firewall > System > Firmware > Reporter, including PHP startup messages about mongodb.so and some other log entries.

However, after letting the system settle and checking again, the firewall is now no longer showing those errors. WAN connectivity, PPPoE, DNS, and the rest of the system are working normally.

At this point, it looks like the issue may have been related to Zenarmor rather than the firewall core itself. Zenarmor is installed on this system and uses a local reporting backend, so it is possible that the reporting database or backend state needed to be updated or reinitialized after the upgrade.

Since the errors have disappeared, I'm not sure whether this was just a transient post-upgrade state, or whether Zenarmor automatically corrected the backend/database on its own.

I also noticed a ZFS pool warning after the firmware upgrade indicating that some supported pool features are not enabled yet. The pool is still online and healthy, and SMART for the SSD is passing, so this appears to be only an informational warning rather than an actual storage problem.

If anyone has seen a similar situation after upgrading to OPNsense 27, I'd be interested in hearing whether this is expected behavior or whether there is something that should still be checked manually.

The Services widget on the dashboard appears greyed out, but all listed services are running normally.

Thanks in advance.

This is mentioned in another topic : It's something that got left behind after ZenArmor dumped MongoDB _{(As eveyone should IMHO !!!)} and moved to SQLite and Elasti<something> version 8 instead of version 5 so you need to do some cleaning up now...
_{(I dont use ZenArmor so don't know every detail...)}

I am betting on OpenZFS getting upgraded and now telling you there is newer stuff to use.

Feel free to post the output here together with :

SMART for the SSD is passing

To double check everything :)

so this appears to be only an informational warning rather than an actual storage problem.

I think so too.
