I'm a new freenas user (I was waiting for multi-LUN SATA for my Sans Digital towers). I'm currently running the 8 release. I'm pretty happy. I did post a couple of issues in the bug forum (which I've been able to work around).
What's the best way to upgrade to the new releases?
1) Use the GUI upgrade ?
2) Stow away the original USB flash stick and reinstall to a new one (reload configuration).
3) Stow away the original USB flash stick and reinstall to a new one (don't reload config, import the existing zpool).
I don't mind manually setting up the system if that's a better (safer) route. Dealing with Windows has made be a believer in "Clean Install".
If it matters, I have 12 2tb hard drives in single Z1 ZPool. 4 Drives are on the Motherboard and there are 2 4 Drive Sans Digital Towers on a PCI based Silicon Image 3132 controller. 20tb storage -> it's so cool !!!
Thanks
