Hello @daz ,
I prefer to install a new environment and only migrate data, is a cleaner approach.
I've no experience with upgrading both OS and Zimbra.
Do you have a good instruction on how to do the migration of the data and configuration?
Filling out the email form and receiving the link to the latest versions of the Zextra builds provides me with the builds from April for both Ubuntu 18 and 20.
Just to make sure, I spun of a clone of my Zimbra mail server and applied it. The upgrade shows as 9.0.0_ZEXTRAS_20220419075931
Is this correct?

Hello guys,
as promised, I just want to inform you that on Monday at ~15.00 UTC we're going to release Zimbra 9.0.0p24 for RHEL7, RHEL8, Ubuntu 18 and Ubuntu 20.
if I run Ubuntu 18 right now and do a full upgrade to Ubuntu 20 and install the Ubuntu 20 packet of Zimbra, will that work and will I keep all my settings? Or is it needed to do a full new install on Ubuntu 20 and setup everything by hand again?
Probably worth a new thread, since completely OT 🤣 Interestingly I was not even able to find something about this in the official Zimbra forum. Also there is a wiki for upgrading 16.04 -> 18.04. But they do not seem update this documentation.
I guess, use a VM, take a snapshot, trial & error...
@matt Thanks, upgrade went well!! Also upgraded Zextras suite. 🙂
Same here, update successful. Thanks to Zextras!
@martinwiertz Did you upgrade Ubuntu or just Zimbra / Zextras? I am testing a Ubuntu 18 to 20 upgrade (in lab) and so far I can see it trashes the Zimbra install.

@jreiter1975 Hi, I upgraded both. No problems yet. 🙂 I first upgraded Zextras to 3.11 and rebooted. Then Zimbra v9.0 P24 upgrade.
Ubuntu server 18.04 is also fully patched etc.

Have you tried stopping all services, uninstalling all zimbra-packages, os-upgrade, reinstalling packages? Not sure this would work, but I guess that would be the next approach when direct upgrade fails?
I found steps from @jasgg_it on a previous page.
Make sure to run on the last version of Ubuntu packages
apt-get && apt-get dist-upgrade
Reboot your system!
Allow Third party packages repos
echo -e "[Sources]\nAllowThirdParty=yes" > /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d/allow-thirdparty.cfg
Fix zimbra repository with new Ubuntu OS version codename
sed -i 's/OLD_OS_VERSION/NEW_OS_VERSION/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zimbra.list
Upgrade Ubuntu
apt-get update && do-release-upgrade
I did these on a lab system and it did work. Did not lose anything Zimbra wise.

I did notice that after updating Ubuntu to (Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS) and Zimbra to (Release 9.0.0.ZEXTRAS.20220402.UBUNTU20.64 UBUNTU20_64 FOSS edition) I am getting this non-sense again. Had fixed it previously.
Disk warning: zimbra.telluride-net.co: /snap/core20/1518 on device /dev/loop0 at 100%
Have tried:
zmlocalconfig -e zmstat_df_excludes='/dev/loop0:/dev/loop1:/dev/loop2:/dev/loop3:/dev/loop4:/dev/loop5:/dev/loop6' zmstatctl restart
It is not clearing the alerts. Am I missing something here?

After zextras update via new installer, mailbox is not starting up.
zimbra.log just tells me it is not starting and keeps trying for a while.
mysql is up and running
mailbox check at install reported all ok.
Any ideas for chasing and finding were to look for why mailbox is not starting?
Thanks

Yes it is kind of an irritating matter.
If your are not using anything particularly related to snapd, you can disable/remove it to get rid of this situation.
follow this link to check how to do this.

After that you should not get the utilization notification of loop devices.
Thanks.
🙂
@shariful-islam Is there a way to tell if SNAP is being used?
Any idea why:
zmlocalconfig -e zmstat_df_excludes='/dev/loop0:/dev/loop1:/dev/loop2:/dev/loop3:/dev/loop4:/dev/loop5:/dev/loop6'
is not working? In worked prior to upgrading to Ubuntu 20.

Jeff
