I was just poking fun. FreeNas actually does their versions correctly (FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201602031011). Looks like YYYY + MM +DD + Build Version? That is easy enough to use for numerical comparisons.
It's actually an ISO8601-compliant machine-readable date+timestamp.
So we actually need a new 'train' for 9.10 if that's going to work.
No, everything is the same, including jails and plugins. It's only in 10 that jails will be created inside a VM dedicated to the purpose and everything else will be hosted via VMs and Docker Containers.
What's the client in this case? I haven't observed SSH problems with any of my test machines, so this is a little surprising!
We have not yet decided the best approach but our thinking is that for existing jails, we will migrate them to a FreeBSD 9.3 VM since there are ABI compatibility issues and that's the best way of hosting them going forward. For new applications, you'll use your own VMs or Docker containers.
Yes, the situation with 9.10 plugins/jails is completely unchanged. We've been conflating 10 and 9.10 topics here (that was probably a mistake) and what's in 10 bears no resemblance to what's in 9.10. Also, in 10 you will have at least 4 different plex plugins, JFYI. :)
No worries, but thanks for the clarification/confirmation. One of my concerns has been what form of migration would be involved, going to 10. If current jails will transmorgrify into true VMs, then people like me should have nothing to fear.
Wow, 4 different plex plugins? If there is a place to read up on this, I'd love to see it, just to whet the appetite. I'm what most here would consider novice level, but am trying to absorb & learn as I go. I currently employ 4 of the plugins: plex, sickrage, couchpotato & transmission, and am about to tackle a manual setup of a FEMP with Wordpress for a very small website and blog.Again, we should probably move this to another thread since discussing 10 issues in a 9.10 thread is only going to confuse people, but we're not thinking of moving each existing jail into its own VM, but rather moving all existing 9.3 jails into a single FreeBSD 9.3 VM in 10. To study up on the array of potential 10 Containers, look at DockerHub. :)
I also had a problem with a replication task between a Freenas 9.3 PUSH and a Freenas 9.10 PULL when the encryption cipher is set to none, that worked between 9.3 PUSH and 9.3 PULL.

Unfortunately, the SSH folks have removed support for the None cipher in later revisions so when we updated our ports, we lost that. We're going to create some other mechanism for "zero overhead replication" in 10 and then back-port it to 9.10, but that's not going to happen right away, so for now, just consider the None cipher dead and use one of the "cheaper" ciphers SSH offers. Sorry, but this one was just outside our control!
