Hey Master Gollom,
So my FreeNAS 9 was interesting. I initially attempted to upgrade through the WebUI but that failed. So when that happened I just said "to heck with it for now" and I figured I'd wait for these plugins to become available for 9.
I had a HD failing smart tests so when my replacement arrived I went to go load it. I pulled the bad drive out and when I did that the kernel did a panic and halted. (Yes I did take the drive offline prior to removal) So I loaded the new drive into an empty slot and left the bad drive in place because I was a little scared that perhaps I pulled the wrong drive.
Started the system back up, during the boot it got to a point and stopped then rebooted. After that I was on FreeNAS 9. So I thought hey thats cool it worked. But since I was having issues with my jails and getting the pbi's to start up I decided to do a backup of my config and do a fresh FreeNAS 9 load on my USB stick.
So am I on an upgrade? I guess you could say that to some extent, my config came from 8 and was reloaded into 9. I hope that this all makes sense. Let me know what else I can answer for you about my interesting situation.
