11.2 - Who has installed?

[hoserama]

Looking for feedback from anyone that has installed 11.2, released today

 

[MikeyG]

Just tried it. Noticed there is no option to wipe disks? Even on the Legacy Gui it's gone.

First thing I saw on my 11.2-RC2 test box before doing the upgrade was this:

 

[House Of Cards]

I just ran the upgrade from 11.1-U6 to 11.2-RELEASE through the GUI. Changed the train to 11.2 STABLE and upgraded. Looks to be up and running fine. My old jails are working as far as I can tell. New GUI isn't as horrible as I was expecting from reading around.

So far so good.

Updated from RC2 to 11.2 without issue so far. SMB, Jails (urbackup, minidlna, transmission) working fine.

That should change shortly (we're still in the process of uploading and updating everything).

Just fixed this. We're still moving all the update files around and you just beat us to it ;)

It should be in Storage -> Disks. Click the 3 dot button next to the disk to wipe. Post a screenshot if you don't have that.

Updated my home freeNAS server and everything is great, all jails are g2g. Thanks freeNAS team, another job well done!

I'm getting some errors while trying to install 11.2 from USB created with Rufus 3.4.1430 on Windows 10 (also tried 3.3.1400 with two different thumb drives).

ISO Checksum is OK

Tried with 11.1-U6 and it worked fine no problem, also Rufus behaves more like it usually do, asks if you want ISO or DD mode and also says "hey i need to download grub, is this ok?". For 11.2 it just grays out everything and just writes it.

Code:

FreeBSD/x86 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1

What am I doing wrong?

 

[Constantin]

I am not a particular 'fan' of the feature where dataset encryption pass-phrases are removed as part of the upgrade process.

I'm sure there is a reason but FreeNAS might want to inform users of this explicitly during the process.

My VM and Test machine are fine, my main machine always takes __*__AGES__*__ to install now, she's old, weak and maybe USB keys getting old, but I literally wait 2 or 3 hours to be certain generally, so I do it remotely from work.

I'm curious if that Rancher 1.4.2 made it in or still 1.4.1 ?

 

[Spud]

So as far as I can tell no one seems to have had any data loss or problems going from 11.1-U6 to 11.2 with all VMs and plugins still working as one would expect?

 

[Jacopx]

I have change the train, but I still see the update for 11.2-RC2. Is there a way to clear the caches of the updates?

Edit: Also after reboot I can’t see th e update :(

 

[rokh]

Updated from 11.2-RC1

S.M.A.R.T. service failed to start.

I have disabled smart on all disks and restarted the system. Service still refuses to start.

Did you check if smart is enabled on a usb drive? If so disable it on the drive and start smart.
There is a thread in the forum.

I had the same issue. USB Flash Drives are just too slow for FreeNAS now. Even the USB 3 ones. You should upgrade to SSDs for boot drives. They are like $24 now. Save your config, install fresh on SSD, load config, and you should be good to go. My server also took AGES to reboot and hours to do upgrades until I installed on some cheap 120GB SSDs. iXsystems does not even recommend Flash Drives anymore.

I installed RC2 and now the Dashboard tab says "Updates available" but when I go to the Updates tab, there are no updates shown (even though 11.2-STABLE is selected). If I switch over to the old web interface, then the updates are listed.

Like @Jacopx I wonder if there is some sort of caching problem.

Dataset encryption is not, and never has been, a FreeNAS feature. What exactly are you talking about?

My test machine it's not a problem.
I'm not wasting ssds just for this. It runs great from USB, just my original machine is slow
