  • Yeah, this happened at the absolute worst time for me. I have 6 of their WiFi bulbs that I’ve been planning to replace, but the wife’s car just broke down yesterday, and she had a surgical procedure today. And my kid starts her senior year of high school in a week or two, and registration is now, and she needs new clothes for school. Ugh.

    Needless to say, money is too tight to replace these 6 not-so-smsrt bulbs just yet.

    Thankfully, the 6 bulbs are: 3 in the kid’s room, and 3 in the front porch. Ad the kid has other lighting that continues working fine, and the porch lights are only needed if someone goes out there, and we rarely use the front porch, as our main entryway is the back one. I also have several zigbee relays, and some esphome devices so it’s not like my entire setup just died…

    I was about to pull the trigger on replacing them the last time this crap happened, and they started working again, so they got moved to a back burner.





  • You sure that’s what is happening, and it’s not just mounting a different snapshot/dataset being mounted “on top” ?

    I’ve seen it happen, which is why I ask. Assume the root dataset is named pool0 and has set0 set1 and set1/set2 as child datasets.

    Their mount points are as follows:

    /pool0/set0

    /pool0/set1

    /pool0/set1/set2

    Now, if somehow, say set2 gets unmounted.temporarily, and you save files to /pool0/set1/set2 while the data set is not mounted, it’ll actually put those files in the set1 dataset, under the set2 directory.

    But, when you mount the pool0/set1/set2 dataset again, the files under the set1 dataset are hidden by the set2 child.

    Am I explaining it well enough for you to follow along?

    Make sure you don’t have some similar situation by temporarily unmounting any nested datasets and ls’ing their mount points.


  • My network actually ran better when my OpnSense was virtualized on a Proxmox server running atop a Dell Optiplex 790 MT from like 2013, than it is currently on a bare metal Sophos SG-135v2.

    But that is because the sophos has 8 ports. And all 8 are a separate interface, so to use them as a switch requires bridging 7 of the 8.

    And that slows things down tremendously. I really just need an 8 port switch in there, I guess.

    The upshot is, the sophos came with rack mounts.
