Hi gents,
So - I remember when I moved back a year ago, I had some problems that led me to upgrade from 8.3 or some such, at the time (I hadn't upgraded in a while...) to 9.2.1.9, as I recall. Immediately, I had scores of issues with CIFS (which is my main use for the FreeNAS box, as pretty much all of my PC's save one are Windows), and a bit of searching led me to understand that 9.2.0 was pretty much the last really solid, stable version for CIFS. I downgraded, and things have been working a charm since. (Thanks again to all who helped at that time on the forums!)
Now - I'm seeing 9.3, and although I have no real compelling reason to upgrade, I'm tempted to at least try to keep up so I don't find myself in a situation where I'm forced to upgrade and I don't have the time to sort out the inevitable bugs.
That being said, my question is simple : Is 9.3 a good, safe, solid update? I searched, and only found one poster with CIFS issues. I'd like to take advantage of the latest features, but would much rather avoid problems, as we really do tend to make fairly heavy use of this NAS box in this household.
Thanks in advance!
