TrueNAS 13.0-U5 is Now Available

[winnielinnie]

Yes.

Supported, but not recommended?

Outside of TrueNAS Core, I can only find the recommendation to upgrade the host OS (FreeBSD) before upgrading a jail; regardless of Major or Minor version upgrades to the jail.

Chapter 17. Jails and Containers

Jails improve on the concept of the traditional chroot environment in several ways

docs.freebsd.org

To upgrade the jail to a new major or minor version, first upgrade the host system as described in “Performing Major and Minor Version Upgrades”. Once the host has been upgraded and rebooted, the jail can then be upgraded.

(Emphasis mine.)

Why would the official documentation instruct you to first upgrade the host system before upgrading the jails (regardless of Major or Minor version iteration)?

TrueNAS 13 is not at FreeBSD 13.0, 13.1 or some other specific release. It follows the releng/13 branch which means "any 13.x at some point in time". No kernel ABI changes are taking place during the development of the releng/13 branch.

Now 14.x jails are of course expected to be incompatible due to kernel ABI changes.

See section 25.5.2 "Using FreeBSD-STABLE":

Chapter 26. Updating and Upgrading FreeBSD

Information about how to keep a FreeBSD system up-to-date with freebsd-update or Git, how to rebuild and reinstall the entire base system, etc

I've been a little lazy and hadn't updated since U3, but updated from there to U5 over the weekend without any issues. Thanks as ever for your great work!

Sucesfully updated; will remove the vfs.zfs.arc.meta_prune = 0 sysctl and report back any unusual ARC behaviour.

From a first observation it appears to maintain around 1GB of free ARC.

Updated my systems last week to U5, it fixed my ARC misbehaving issues as well. No other issues to report.

Also, is it just me or did U5.1 drop without release notes?

@GeorgePatches
U5.1 Release notes are being published. Two bug fixes:

		This is a hotpatch release to fix an NVDIMM alerting issue found with certain TrueNAS Enterprise platforms and a fix for crashes related to the recycle bin in SMB home shares.
		* [NAS-122242](https://ixsystems.atlassian.net/browse/NAS-122242) NVDIMM Alert has typo for vendor: c180 device: 4e38 for firmware check
		* [NAS-122250](https://ixsystems.atlassian.net/browse/NAS-122250) Crash in SMB recycle bin

Updated to U5.1, no issue

Updated my systems last week to U5, it fixed my ARC misbehaving issues as well.

Noticed this too. The best feature of U5, which fixes the nonsense from upstream ZFS that hit us in in Core U4.

From a first observation it appears to maintain around 1GB of free ARC.

Can confirm this after a few months of observation.
