Is that a typo or are you running a nightly from last year?

 

[ric]

Correct, Im running the one from last year.

So, what is the most stable version of Freenas right now?

 

[dlavigne]

The one in the "Download FreeNAS" link at the top of the page (currently 11.1-U5).

Note that PBIs are deprecated and will be replaced by iocage in 11.2-BETA1 (due out in a few weeks). For now, you can use the iocage CLI using the instructions in http://doc.freenas.org/11/jails.html#using-iocage.

So how do you manually update old version of Freenas using this file (currently 11.1-U5)? Thanks.

 

[Alecmascot]

Can you not set your update Train to "FreeNAS-11-stable" ?
Or do it from the cli : < freenas-update -T FreeNAS-11-stable check>
then <freenas-update -T FreeNAS-11-stable update>

Normally you use the Update button. However, you're running a nightly (which isn't meant for production use) so the UI will not let you switch trains to the stable version.

Instead, do an installation of U5 using the instructions in http://doc.freenas.org/11/install.html#upgrading-using-the-iso and select "install in new boot environment". This will keep your current install and add the new install to the boot menu. Note that you'll need to recreate your configuration from scratch as you can't restore a config made on nightlies to a stable boot environment.
