Upgrade to 9.10

[ShinobiX9X]

Hello,

I was wondering if it's safe enough to upgrade to 9.10 without messing up my jails.


Thanks!

Probably not.

Hi,

A note on jails for 9.10: As you will see in the release notes, the FreeNAS jail templates have also been updated to FreeBSD 10.3. Due to the way templates are cached, however, anyone currently using jails (including plugins) will continue to use the cached (already fetched) 9.3 jail templates. This is not really a problem since FreeBSD 10 is backwards compatible with 9.3 and all existing plugins and jails should continue to function normally after the upgrade, but should you create any new jails or plugins, you may be surprised to note that they're also using the 9.3 templates. This is a limitation of the jails architecture in FreeNAS which is being addressed differently in 10, and for now the only way around this is, unfortunately, to nuke your jails dataset completely (to delete all cached templates) along with any jails in it, and start over with a new jails dataset.

Before upgrading to 9.10 from 9.3, I deleted Plex, Transmission and Subsonic plugins and jails.[/quote]. I reinstalled plugins, added jails storage and everything seems to be ok. :)
An user mentioned on the forum that in his case, he had to recreate the Plex libraries after upgrade.

Best regards,

Did you also delete the jails dataset? If so, what do you see in the jails dataset now (other than the plugins)?

@Drew Heath I apologise for my late answer. I have not delete them because i didn't want to lose my movies, music etc.
I had to reapply permissions for users (i use "media" user for subsonic and plex plugins and "transmission" user for transmission plugin.

You store your data inside the jails dataset? Are you sure you are not sharing separate datasets with the jails?

For who's interested,

I didn't delete mail jails/plugins. upgrade went well, all is still working.
I had one problem i saw after a short while, emby wouldn't play media any more.
I only deleted that plugin, reinstalled it, and all works as before.

So, this way, if i understand correctly, my jails are still 9.3 and not 9.10.
I was just wondering, is that a problem? As in FreeNAS 10 it will be a completely different system.
