Release Notes for FreeNAS 9.1.0-RC2
This is the second release candidate for FreeNAS 9.1.0. We have passed a great alpha and rolling beta cycle with many bug fixes and regressions fixed. At this point, only bug fixes and regressions will be addressed.
Major changes:
1) Synced with version 9.1-STABLE of FreeBSD for many performance improvements, bug fixes, and updated software packages.
2) Many improvements to the ZFS filesystem, including feature flags, TRIM support, enhanced drive removal notification, LZ4 compression, improved ARC memory reclamation and reliability improvements.
3) New Plugin management interface, with support for direct uploading and easy browsing and installation of plugins a central FreeNAS plugin repository.
4) Improved Jail subsystem with support for multiple jails and an enhanced UI including enhancements from PC-BSD's Warden.
5) Improved Volume manager, including auto optimization of volumes for performance.
6) Improvements to the encryption subsystem.
7) Documentation enhancements.
8) **IMPORTANT** Backward compatibility of FreeNAS 9.1 ZFS pools with older versions of ZFS is not to be expected. Upgrade pools with extreme caution, as all ZFS pool upgrades are one-way and only FreeNAS 9.1, FreeBSD 9-STABLE, and FreeBSD 8.4 currently support this ZFS pool format.
9) To convert 8.* pluginjail to a 9.* pluginjail, please run the jail migration script like so (prior to configuring jails) from the command-line:
/root/migrate_pluginjail.sh -D
Any plugins installed will need to be updated manually; this can be done on the services->plugins page.
