Developers and Testers,

One of the things I've been wanting to have for a long time now is FreeNAS 9.10 nightlies, built against FreeBSD Stable and HEAD. (11-STABLE and 12-CURRENT respectively). This will allow us to more rapidly track future FreeBSD updates and eventually rebase and/or merge fixes into stable FreeNAS 9. Today I'm pleased to announce that this is public and ready for your feedback / input as well.

But first the usual notes of caution. These are *EXPERIMENTAL* nightlies. Do NOT use them with your production data! You have been warned!

We've created the various "Master - FreeBSD Stable" and "Master - FreeBSD HEAD" versions in the FreeNAS 9 bug tracker, please use those when filing bugs. We may not get to every issue, but it'll give us a good indication for the suitability of particular FreeBSD code trickling in from upstream.

Thanks and happy testing!

Boy you love playing around with the cutting edge don't you Kris.

Wish I had some spare hardware sitting around that I could play with this. :(

Is some care being taken to not repeat the 9.10 experience of a truckload of ancient 9.3 bugs resurfacing?

I like knowing whats coming down the pike way ahead of time ;) Better to take the small sips occasionally, rather than trying to gulp down 3 years of changes all at once.

Yes, we've done some light internal testing to make sure we've grabbed all the relevant patches when moving forward to 11/12 builds. However that is also primarily the reason for these nightlies. With a few of us running the more experimental "bleeding-edge" builds, it provides more opportunity to sniff out regressions and new bugs, hopefully long before we are pushing anything to a -STABLE FreeNAS release.

I'm really glad that I found this thread and that there appears to be a future for FreeNAS 9. Given that iXsystems has decided that Linux and Docker are the future and that, for me, FreeNAS 10 has no compelling features other than it's FreeBSD 11 base I was thinking of either forking and starting a FreeBSD 11 based version of FreeNAS 9 or switching to SmartOS—which does Linux compatibility correctly via the Linux ABI. Now maybe I won't have to do either.

Well, you shouldn't need to go anywhere. We've already imported FreeBSD 11 into 9.10 nightlies (about a month ago) and it will be part of 9.10.3, along with a bunch of other cool features & fixes.

Is the new GUI broken in the nightly train? I haven't been able to get it to work the last few releases.

Yeah, never saw that one before. What browser are you using?

Firefox. Also this is all in virtualbox, not bare metal. Guess I could try esxi as well and see how that goes. It was working up until a few days ago. I'm updating again right now and I'll see if that fixes it.

EDIT: Nope. I'm going to re download the image and do a fresh install. The latest upload for http://download.freenas.org/9.10/FREEBSD-HEAD/latest/x64/ is broken so I'm downloading the iso from yesterday.

I have never tried the FREEBSD-HEAD Image...

I would just do http://download.freenas.org/9.10/MASTER/ ... it has FreeBSD 11.

Yeah I'm going to have to the FREEBSD-HEAD image won't finish booting in Virtualbox or ESXi.

I'll play some more tomorrow, too close to bedtime.

Today's update restored the experimental GUI for me. Looks very promising and is coming along nicely.

Glad to hear that! Let us know if you find any more issues. Its still very rough in the edges but we are already accepting bug reports for it.

I did installed it and it took a long time to finish. After waiting for ~15 minutes, went to bed and was installed in the next morning :D

System:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4370 CPU @ 3.80GHz
4 Cores @ 3.79GHz
32 GiB RAM

Tried VMWare before and was a No Go, but after seen that it took long on a bare metal, I assume if I had left for some time would finish installation. Will test that. One thing though ... same GUI, right? New GUI is coming later, I assume.

New GUI is already available, although very limited at this point.
Did you try HEAD or latest nightly?
