This sounded like a bug. Is it your boot pool, or just a regular data pool? > gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 nvd0 > gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 nvd1 To answer your short question: do I need to update bootcode? No if draid is the only feature that you have enabled on an existing pool, but personally I don't recommend upgrading boot pool right now. The reason for that "No" answer is 1) the boot code do not currently support draid, and 2) enabling the feature won't activate it until draid vdev is added to the pool, which is quite unlikely in your case; note that if you do add draid vdev, your bootcode won't be able to boot from it anymore. On my personal laptop, old bootcode would boot pool with draid enabled but not activated just fine (note that the loader.efi on -CURRENT won't boot my P51, which I will start a separate discussion; I used FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-amd64-20201231-282381aa53a-255460-memstick.img and fixed my EFI loader and it worked fine with the draid-enabled boot ZFS pool). Hope this helps. Cheers,
