FreeNAS 11.0-RC now Available

[SaskiFX]

Of course what direction you choose to take with your system management is entirely up to you.

Thanks. Just trying to pick some brains.

Random: Do you know if the changeover to iocage require jail re-creation?

Likely yes since it will also come with an update to FreeBSD 11. Past base OS updates have had to do the same.

You can force it from the CLI:

# freenas-update -v -T FreeNAS-11-STABLE update

Although that works, I still cant switch the train afterwards. I assume that will solve at a next release?

Well done Dev guys :) Looking forward to VMing this to play with this weekend (such an exciting life ;) )

@Kris Moore does importing passphraseless encrypted pools work?

Thanks for your relentless work on this! We are all behind you! I've been very excited about this release ever since I found out about it in Kris' interview on BSDNow!

Edit: to answer my own question, yes, encrypted volumes work fine.

I had a quick look after first detaching my primary pool just in case. What I saw of the new GUI -- as yet incomplete -- looks good.

I've now reverted to 9.10.2-U3 and reimported that primary pool, but I look forward to the Release version of 11.0 and its further updates.

I had the same problem, but solved it by exporting the configs, did a clean install and imported the config on the new installation. I was then able to change train.

@Kris Moore when do you expect to have the UI use iocage for jail creation? I figured that would have come with a RC of 11 but it still appears to be using Warden.

 

[Jailer]

It is set for 11 release according to the bug tracker.

Tried installing FreeNAS 11 RC and after installation, found there is no change in the WebUI from the previous one on my system.

How to get the UI shown in Demo Video.

This is a mistake in my opinion. Any major fixes/updates should invoke a RC2 in my opinion. Lets prevent another "Corral" incident.

 

[Jailer]

There's a link to the new UI on the log in screen. Log out and log back in on the new UI.

 

[joeschmuck]

I have been playing with FreeNAS 11 (current release) and I really like the old sytle GUI. The new GUI isn't bad either but as Kris stated, it's not finished but it certainly gives you an example of what's to come and while I do resist some changes, this one I might not resist as hard. The functionality of FreeNAS 11-RC for what little I've tested has been solid.

 

[Jailer]

I wish I had some extra hardware to test this RC with. I've run into a couple of issues trying an upgrade install in Virtualbox but I'm not entirely convinced they are FreeNAS issues.

I upgraded my backup box, since it does little more than zfs recv. All went normally, so I'm thinking that most upgrade issues are on weird hardware, crap boot devices or both.

This was my plan as well but after Release comes out. I'll test in a VM the RC for now. I was running the nightlies and forced it back to Stable so I can be on the same platform as many other users.

I just forced my test bench machine from 11 Nightlies to the RC version last night and did not log back in until minutes ago.
Something strange though, after typing in the IP in the browser and hitting the enter key, it skipped the log in window and
went directly to the Information tab. I'm going to reboot and see if this happens again. BRB

 

[BigDave]

So after the reboot, the browser shows the log in window. I'm going to close that tab, open a new tab and type in the IP and see if this glitch repeats...

The answer is no, I could not recreate this.
P.S. I'm using Firefox 53.0.2 (32-bit)

I agree mostly. Personally, I think the change to iocage should have been done before it hit any RC status. It's really not a release candidate if you're planning to overhaul part of the system before final release.

 

[Ericloewe]

GUI jail management isn't going to use iocage in 11.0, that's an 11.1 feature.
