Thank you for testing this.
I elected to install 2020.10 to use as a base for learning how to update the
system without reinstalling if that is possible.
I *think* the network menu bar icon is supposed to start /usr/lib/nwam-manager.
I get a dialog popup using 2020.10 that asks for au

Here's some info. The dd of /dev/zero is still running after almost 6 hours
which is mind boggling, because before the 2020.10 install 2021.01-rc1 did it
in ~1:11. I want to let it finish before I take it down and pull the 8 GB DIMM.
It's quite singular. I've never seen anything like this befor
I've done a fresh install using the text installer on a 14 core E5-2680 V4
system with 72 GB of ECC DRAM and a 4x 4 TB 7200 rpm RAIDZ2 array. With
reconfigure set on the post install boot it all came up fine.
The prior install of 2021.04-rc1 gave ~220 MB/s for reads and writes and 87

I have been using labelclear which is a huge improvement. In the past I had to
write a script to do it using dd. So far I've been unable to find a good
diagram showing the various disk labels, boot blocks, etc. The best

FWIW I saw the messages that Nelson posted at the start of this discussion on

mysterious "corrupted pools" appear which I was only able to fix by using dd(1)
to wipe out the old label.

It *appears* to be connected with selecting options 5, 6 & 7 before booting to
multi-user. I'll investigate further after it's been running a while. I'm
supposed have 64 GB of DRAM arrive today.
I'm purely guessing, but I suspect that the "Reconfigure" option is what made
it work.
