I am being hit by a ZFS issue that's reportedly part-fixed by FreeBSD patch r319096, which is in FreeBSD 11.1R.
I'd like to early-upgrade my FreeNAS 11.0-U4 server to 11.1-PRERELEASE. I've checked the roadmap and it lists 19 outstanding issues, none of which are relevant to me (jails, Kerberos, resilver scheduling, admin emails etc).
It's listed as an imminent release within a week or so, presumably that means "once these last items are fixed".
Is it the experience of beta testers that apart from these specific bugs, FreeNAS 11.1 has had enough testing and feedback that it's probably safe to update my NAS to the prerelease version a week or so before it becomes an official release?
