Cache and cookies are two completely different things.

Yeah. And some modern browsers (like Firefox) have per-site cookie deletion policies TBH, but I think this is getting a bit off-topic now :).
Feedback on testing RC1:
I have tested RC1 on a VM for a day and just loaded it on my real NAS and it appears to be working fine. This is with the media installed of course. I have given a copy to another soul who was going to test it out as well and hopefully provide some feedback. I see RC2 is on the horizon as well with quite a few changes so I'll likely be testing those out as well.
I had two issues to which I do not plan to submit any trouble tickets as I suspect they are just my system but I will briefly mention them here...
1) When booting the CD (iso) when the screen reaches the countdown (starts at 2 seconds), it hangs there. Pressing enter continues the software. This has been around at least since 8.0.2 for me and I don't know why it happens but it doesn't bother me much either.
2) My Zpool would not auto-import into 8.0.2 or 8.0.3, not sure why. I worked through it by using CLI to export the pool and them I could Auto-Import.
Great, now I can build that version, give me 2 hours and 30 minutes and I'll have something.Ok. The RC2 images have been posted on SF < 1 hour ago. I'm going to run through the images really quickly before I send out the "all-clear".
My BIOS is current and I'm not worried about it. I could probably make a BIOS change to make it work but as long as it runs after the software is installed, I'm good. I'm letting you know in case you see a trend.This is usually the sign of a funky BIOS/serial console/IPMI board (I know a company that starts with an F that made an appliance that would ritually hang with the FreeBSD bootloader, so we muted the console input). Can you either update your BIOS or BMC and try again?
When it comes to zpools, exporting, etc... I'm not very experienced. I posted in a new thread here to separate it from this thread. http://forums.freenas.org/showthread.php?5394-8-0-3-Zpool-issue&p=19070#post19070This I'm more concerned with. Could you pastebin your zpool status output offline so I can figure out what's going on?
Gcooper,
I noticed you added the changes I suggested for the fuse stuff to nanobsd/common, but when checking RC2 it looks like they didn't make it. I was going to suggest making a symbolic link to the fuse module instead of copying it to save space, but wasn't sure why the change didn't make it into RC2?
At least don't load the NTFS module by default, I suppose fuse.ko could be added from the GUI with the new loader settings, but the module or a symbolic link to it in /boot/kernel would help. The less coaching to Noobs to get it working, the better! ;-)

40 MB/s - it is for USB3 flash drive. Seems to be OK.Looks like syslog messages were interleaved. This is a known issue in FreeBSD up to 9.x. It'll be supposedly fixed in 9.0-RELEASE.

33 MB/s for SATA3 drives is too low

ASUS F1A75 - Chipset AMD A75 FCH (Hudson D3)Now I understand what you were looking at. What controller are you using (/var/run/dmesg.boot posted elsewhere would be awesome -- thanks!)?
Building right now, should be able to test it later today. If you have any suggestions on what I should do to specifically test the new changes please let me know. I plan to put this on my VM for a few hours and play around with it, then pop it on another USB Flash drive and give it a spin on the real NAS.@protosd: Merged over the NTFS changes required in r9359:r9360 after doing the required spotcheck with an NTFS diskimage in virtualbox.

An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file... Error 0x8007003A: The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.
@gcooper & Protosd
I tested in my VM and here are my results:
1) The GUI did not display the /mnt/NTFSTest when I tried to create a Windows Share, nor was it listed in any of the share screens.
2) I manually entered the share path listed above in the GUI and it was accepted.
3) I was able to access dozens of small files and play one movie (Cowboys & Aliens) because I wanted to test a large file (~6GB) as well.
4) Writing files to the share could be problematic. Writing a single file at a time was fine but more that one file at the same time failed with the following message:
Code:An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file... Error 0x8007003A: The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.
And this got me thinking about multiple reads at a time, guess what, it too fails with the same error message.
Also file transfers are very slow compared to ZFS. Just to cover the bases I did test ZFS and had no problems transferring multiple files either way at once.
I think another test would be multiple NTFS drives and trying to transfer files between the them and some other file transfer scenarios.
I might test this software out on my real NAS to see if the problems persist.
For certain the GUI needs to be fixed for step 1 above to list the mounted drive.
EDIT: I loaded RC-3 (developers build, not mine this time) to my real NAS and was able to easily mount an NTFS formatted USB hard drive. All the same problems exist as listed above.
