Hi. I have FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE. If I use the button to check the automatic updates online, it does not work, it says that the server can not be found, however I can access from a PC to the same URL.
But I want to consult with you if I can update my current version directly to version 11.1. Is there any risk?
Thank you.

too bad 9.10-2 gets stuck “loading kernel modules”. LOTS of this problem from what i’ve been reading. Now i need another NAS program 🙁 .. bought new computer and everything for freenas, seems my older software, 8.XX, and old PC are better?

Nice upgrade FreeNAS staff! Upgrade using ISO worked perfectly. Hardware: HP G7 385 AMD 32 Cores 256GB RAM + 2 24 drive MAS expansion racks full of 10K 2.5″ drives (300G, 900G, 1.2TB). Also 4 200GB WD SSD’s for cache. The 10Gbit network makes for a quick ISCSI setup for moving storage around quickly in my Hyper-V environments (yeah, Microsoft is not my choice).
Note: For the 1st time on a major upgrade, Active Directory is working out of the box! Congrats FreeNAS people!

I also noticed that SMARTD was not starting, but there appears to be an update available. Tonight I will install it, then report if that fixed the SMARTD problem.

I currently have a SuperMicro MBD-X10SLH-F-O motherboard running ESXi 6 update 2 with no issues and I would like to run FreeNAS virtualized on my server. I need a raid/sata controller to support a minimum of six hdd’s. The onboard controller is a Marvell and even though I pass it through to the FreNAS VM, I am not able to see the attached drives. That being said, I would like to have a dedicated controller for FreeNAS, but I am not sure what type of card to get. I’ve read that LSI is the way to got, but If someone could share there on experience with LSI or suggest a specific model number that will for work with version 9.10.

Well that was a little scary. Upgraded from 9.3 to 9.10 but I had link aggregation with 3 NICs. Couldn’t ping the NAS or get to the web control. Which sucked because I didn’t have a graphics card or keyboard on it. Once I was able to see what was going on it didn’t see any NIC interfaces and told me to try it manually. After resetting the interface it reset to my static IP and I was good to go. With my link aggregations in tact. Wiping sweat from forehead!!! Upgrading plugins now.

I also just upgraded my HP Proliant N54L from 9.3 to 9.10 via the GUI which took me about 10 minutes and was completely numpty-proof, so many thanks for that stress free experience!

I have a small home-built NAS, based around an ASRock Q1900 mini ITX board and twin 2.5″ 1TB WD Red hard drives, which has been running for a year now under FreeNAS 9.3. I had to reverse updates to 9.3 a couple of times in the autumn, as the updated system did not work, and have been continuing to run a version from last September. However, I had no problems at all with the update to 9.10, it’s good to be back up to date with FreeNAS now, and I look forward to FreeNAS 10.
