I'm badly wanting to upgrade from 11.0-U4 to 11.1, but all I'm seeing are "issues"... has anybody been successful at the upgrade??
I'm just curious, but why be in such a hurry?I'm badly wanting to upgrade from 11.0-U4 to 11.1, but all I'm seeing are "issues"... has anybody been successful at the upgrade??
You have backups of your critical files BEFORE you update, right.Anxious because I'd heard that a new version of Plex was coming available under the new FreeNAS jails setup... that's the feature I'm eager to see.
I'm still running 9.10 and have the newest Plex version. Upgrading has nothing to do with Plex version.Anxious because I'd heard that a new version of Plex was coming available under the new FreeNAS jails setup... that's the feature I'm eager to see.
...and you know this how?the vast majority are successful
more than two decades of experience with software and it in general..plus running two successful companies..etc etc. Most times folks are not going to post about successful anything on a vendors page..it is either questions or problems..that's just how it is. If the upgrade was that terrible freenas has a good record of either pulling the problem update..posting how to fix it(including rollback)..or updating the code. Until freenas does something to break that cycle in a negative way, I am relying on personal experience plus the long established track record of freenas personnel in how they handle things to prevail. I am not discounting those that do have issues..they exist..but to automatically claim that a vast majority of folks are having this problem is simply not borne out by a low percentage of users who post on the vendor's forums....and you know this how?
I wouldn't say one way or the other what "most" people have experienced, but I know I'm running into issues with scrubs, and I also know I'm not the only one.
I don't think anyone is claiming this, and it would be irresponsible to do so. But it's also irresponsible to say, based on no evidence other than your hunch, that the vast majority of folks are doing fine.to automatically claim that a vast majority of folks are having this problem
Yesterday I upgraded from FreeNAS-9.10.2-U6 to FreeNAS 11.1 with succes. Installation, reboot and again reboot for configuration took me about 30 minutes. I had/have a encrypted zpool. I chose to do the upgrade via downloading the ISO and using a 4GB USB drive for the installation. I used this manual: http://doc.freenas.org/11/install.html#upgradingI'm badly wanting to upgrade from 11.0-U4 to 11.1, but all I'm seeing are "issues"... has anybody been successful at the upgrade??
Can you please elaborate what is not working in the VM feature?its working fine for me except for the VM feature. If you are running 11.0 and have a VM running successfully, I'd hold off till they iron out the issues related to that.
absolutely yes. the vast majority are successful..you just see the cases were it didn't go well..this does not reflect the vast majority of cases as long as the documentation is followed.
That's why I intend to upgrade only if there is a feature in that upgrade that I absolutely must have. At the same time, I try not to get too far behind such that the next upgrade is PITA because of a huge number of changes. It's a delicate balance. ;)11.1 changes a lot of things, so it's breaking a bit more than your typical update. Most of it should be fixed in 11.1-U1 in the coming weeks.
The VM would crash (stop) randomly, and it also seemed to impact the performance of my entire system by consuming heavy resources, as though it was causing some sort of memory leak. I did not have this problem in 11.0. Since disabling the VM and rebooting my system has become stable once more. Outside of the VM issues 11.1 has worked great.Can you please elaborate what is not working in the VM feature?
