Hello all,
I recall some posts from users with 9.3 having issues upgrading on their Microserver.
I've specifically held off to let the bugs iron out but it's been near 3 months since 9.3 has been out, so I'm thinking it's nearly time.
I have 6xSATA disks connected and I run FreeNAS from a 2 or 4gb USB key which has gone without incident thus far.
I currently run 6 jails (SabNZBD, Crashplan, Qbittorrent, Sickbeard, Couchpotato and HTPC manager)
I figure I can do it 2 ways. Backup the FreeNAS config file, re-flash a new USB key, insert it and restore the file, THEN import my volume (this sounds frightening but ... I believe it should work in an emergency?)
The other option appears to be as mentioned in this documentation using the firmware update feature, assuming this even works from 9.2 to 9.3?
So who has done it, how did you go?
2 bonus questions
1, I am under the assumption that 9.3 is just going to progressively updated from here on, I shouldn't need to do much more manual work updating it. However I suspect 10 will be a different beast, due to significant changes, right?
2, Are there any small or major performance increases in 9.3 over 9.2 or anything planned? I recall the original list of changes from 9.2 to 9.3 but has any cool stuff been added to the standard updates since launch in December?
Thanks.
