Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I recently added a second vdev to my system, 4x2TB disks to the machine. Unfortunately the system now will randomly freeze, usually after 3 or 4 days. It was running fine for about a year now. I'm not really sure where the issue could be. Anyway here are my specs:
CPU: Core i7-3770...
I'm running two zpools with ZoL, one is version 28 and one is the most current. The message:
status: The pool is formatted using a legacy on-disk format. The pool can
still be used, but some features are unavailable.
is getting annoying. Is there any reason not to upgrade...
