Hi - Hoping someone can help here.

After a successful upgrade from PVE 8 to 9 - I am just running checks, all is working well.
Both my PVE nodes where originally installed at PVE 8.

zpool status recommends an upgrade. Is it OK to upgrade? Should I upgrade the using zpool?

Thanks

NODE 1

These is my external HDD disk datastore and internal SSD disk datastore - not the boot disk.

Code: 
root@pve:~# zpool status
  pool: dsedd
 state: ONLINE
status: Some supported and requested features are not enabled on the pool.
        The pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable.
action: Enable all features using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done,
        the pool may no longer be accessible by software that does not support
        the features. See zpool-features(7) for details.

If it is irreversible and does not return to pve8, then it is fine.
The only impact is that if something goes wrong, you can't even see that pool in pve8.That is if it is a version of zpool that does not support it.

If various checks have been completed in pve9, then there is nothing wrong.

I would only recommend doing a zpool upgrade if kernel 6.14 is working well for you.. After the upgrade, you can't use older kernels, as the ZFS will have features that won't work with them.

On my system I had to pin kernel 6.11, as the passthrough of an Intel I211 to a VM does not work on 6.14.
