FreeNAS 9.2.1.3-BETA is now available!

[jkh]

Hey folks,

It's been almost 3 weeks, so it must be time for another FreeNAS build!

Come and get it from here!

See what we fixed here (though this list is not entirely definitive - some of the bugs here may also be fixed - we're still waiting for some feedback!). If you hate HTML links in form posts or emails, please click here!

We probably won't do a Release Candidate for 9.2.1.3 because the changes are truly small, so please do test the BETA and see if we squashed your favorite 9.2.1.2 bug, otherwise 9.2.1.3-RELEASE will come out and it will be too late!

Not much to post for ReleaseNotes here. Samba was upgraded to 4.1.6 and Netatalk to 3.1.1, which should fix some Samba crashes and the 32 bit "Time Machine bug" that was in the 9.2.1.2 Errata. We also fixed a bug with libinotify which accounted for some of the Samba spins that ate 100% CPU.

Again, please get it here: http://download.freenas.org/9.2.1.3/BETA/

Thanks, as always, for your testing!

Great timing... Thanks..

 

[joeschmuck]

Appreciate the efforts. I had no idea there was going to be a 9.2.1.3 coming out, thought I'd have to wait until 9.2.2 so I'm happy :).

Nice :)

I have tried to install upgrade "txz" through GUI and I get following message once it has been uploded and upgrade process starts. I am currently running 9.1.1.2. Any idea?

You are using the broken 9.2.1.2 I believe.. See http://download.freenas.org/9.2.1.2/RELEASE/README

http://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/error-upgrading-to-latest-beta.19371/

 

[jkh]

Yep, that's the broken 9.2.1.2. Apply the work-around in the 9.2.1.2/RELEASE/README notes and then upgrade to 9.2.1.3.

 

[babaroga]

Thanks guys. That fixed it :) I was not aware of broken build. My CPU was pegged at 100%, hopefully this sorts that one out, and looking forward for the full release.

..another gratuitous post ..thanks for your hard work!

 

[Majik]

Great work guys! Thanks for all the work you guys do! Very appreciated :D

I really would appriciate some help now...

The CIFS service refuses to start after upgrade to FreeNAS-9.2.1.3-BETA-e3f3e20-x64, "The service could not be started." Looks like the problem is in the configuration file, but I have not changed anything in the config. (Don't know where to find the CIFS config file right now).

From console:

I have to mention followning mistake that I made before the upgrade in case it is the root cause of this problem, but I don't think so.

1) I checked the SHA256 on my 9.2.1.2 file and discovered that I had the "broken" version.
So I applied the fix in the new errata. This went well.

2) To verify that the GUI intaller was working, I decided to upgrade to 9.2.1.3-BETA.
I wrongly selected the x86 installation file on firmware upgrade instead of the x64 file. A message was shown about wrong image format. Rebooted, did not see any problem in console (did not test the access to CIFS at this point).

3) Then, after upgrade to 9.2.1.3-BETA, the CIFS service was running.
No access to the filesystem and errors in console.
Tried to restart CIFS, but it does not start since then.
I have not altered any configuration.

Any idea about how to fix this issue?

I'm pretty sure you have a backup of the FreeNAS configuration, don't you? :)

 

[Rogla]

Yes, I have. I always save the FreeNAS configuration to file before upgrade.
A fresh install of 9.2.1.2 would solve my problem, but I'm worried about import of volymes since there was a problem with it in the "broken" 9.2.1.2. I rather would like to get help to fix my current CIFS configuration file and continue the upgrade path later.

 

[panz]

The volume importing problem has nothing to do with the ZFS pool itself. Install a fresh (working) build an import your pool.

I really would appriciate some help now...

The CIFS service refuses to start after upgrade to FreeNAS-9.2.1.3-BETA-e3f3e20-x64, "The service could not be started." Looks like the problem is in the configuration file, but I have not changed anything in the config. (Don't know where to find the CIFS config file right now).

Really short term work-around: Turn Enable Home Directories off in the SMB service preferences.

Somewhat shorter term work-around: Wait for 9.2.1.3-RELEASE. This bug has been fixed!

9.2.1.3 Release - Soon :)

 

[Rogla]

Thanks, CIFS and my home directories are now up and runing again on 9.2.1.3-RELEASE! :)
