On my proxmox 8.1.10 system after "apt update; apt upgrade; apt autoremove" I get the following messages:

what happened, what can I do?
 
I saw with "zpool status" that my pools were missing a zfs feature, then I did a "zpool grade" on the pools, does this fix it?

*facepalm*

Oh geez... No. You just made it worse.

Grub doesn't support certain features on the boot pool. Now you'll likely have to recreate it WITHOUT those features. Or try switching to systemd-boot, or zfsbootmenu.

Too much for my brain right now, do a search on it.


I never understood why you would want /boot on a zpool in the 1st place, when it's that damn fragile.
