Hey everyone,
I've been away for a while because of school but am going to have a couple of days off and wanted to make the most of it by upgrading my FreeNAS boxes. I wanted to post my situation and run my plan by others as I'm not very up-to-date on the latest release of the 11 stable train or when 11.1 will be coming.
I currently have 2 boxes (specs in my sig), one serving as a simple replication target for the other (it is offsite). I was going to update everything to the latest stable release (I guess that is 11.0RC2?) but wanted to make sure I will not break any functionality. I would appreciate it if others who have a similar setup shared their upgrade experience. I don't have a very complicated setup. It mostly consisted of the following:
- I have 2-3 shares (SMB)
- I take snapshots and do daily replication
- The remote FreeNAS box is not very convenient should something go wrong requiring a physical visit
- I frequently SSH into my box for remote access
- I run two jails: Plex and Plexpy (I have them setup manually, meaning I am not using the plugin but instead the pkg install)
I think that is all the relevant information. Everything is working just fine, and my initial plan was to wait for 11.1 (fully implemented new UI) but that seems a ways off from what I can see in the roadmap.
Has the upgrade been fairly stable for people? Has anyone had any problem with the upgrade from 9.10 -> 11.0 in regards to jail. Is replication still stable in 11.0?
Anything else you think I should know or be warned about? Thanks, I appreciate your time!
