FreeNAS 11.0

Can you create a ticket asking for file-based disk? As well as the WebVNC?

Yup, made #23480 and 23481

Also, care to elaborate on the "glitchy"?

Well for one thing actions such as Start and Stop apparently execute instantaneously in the UI, despite Stop not actually doing so. The interface refreshes in that case and stays at RUNNING until eventually the VM actually shuts down.

Additionally, there is no feedback that saving devices to a running VM won't apply until full poweroff and reboot (Yes, it should be a no-brainer that you can't dynamically attach and detach stuff to the VM, but not everyone thinks that way).

So was 11.0 RC1 released? Or is it under Master in downloads?

Not yet, this is being worked on. Branches have been created and we are now doing builds.

Sweet! I was spamming the download page but saw nothing official.
Maybe Im again ahead of my self. But will there be some sort of upgrade guide from 9.10.2?

With the fiasco of FN10 Corral, I would think there will be a significant amount of FN uses that will be gun shy of upgrading to the next release. iX will need to show some stabilisation within the company as well. I'll stick with FN9.10 for now but if the fiasco repeats itself I could easily jump ship.

I don't know the answer for that but changing to 11 should be as simple as changing train to 11.0-STABLE.
RC1 should hopefully be out today.

Is there some sort of backup or clone recommendation before changing?

Just as any other update. Users are encouraged to keep a copy of their configuration database and to no hurry in upgrade the ZFS Pool (Volume) version until you feel it is working well for your needs.

Ahhh.. I thought I could upgrade today, but not yet. =)

Edit: After a reboot I can now see the update train for 11.0 RC.

Second edit: But after the installation of 11.0 RC I cant see the GUI any more. Thread started under Development / Pre-Release discussion.

Recommendation for switching from nightlies to stable? I'm guessing just save the config, boot into a previous stable environment, and switch to 11-Stable, and upload the saved config?
