Hey guys,

I went to download RC2 and noticed that there is a GUI upgrade option on the dowloads page.

Should I be using that or do I have to download the full image and upgrade?

(I am currently running FreeNAS-9.1.0-BETA-00b60df-x64)

The instructions that are linked aren't different. Is the gui upgrade just for convenience as it is a smaller file?

Thanks,

Waz

With non-release versions I generally tend to do fresh installations. The GUI upgrade should work, though - but check the release notes for RC2 to see if they say anything about the GUI upgrade.
Also, if the upgrade goes wrong you still can go for a fresh installation afterwards. Just remember to backup your configuration before!

Thanks Warri,

Have had no time between now and my initial post to try the upgrade but I see there is a full release version now which is great. I am downloading as I type and will report back for future reference after the upgrade!

Installation went off without a hitch! I am so happy to see a plugins option with the exact items I was dreading trying to setup my self. I am so impressed with Freenas right now!

BTW I just loaded my config after a fresh install of 9.1 release and bang! I am back in action.

Does that mean that you can use previous version config files to restore newer versions safely?

EDIT: I tried it and it seems it will indeed take previous version's config file. It won't migrate everything flawlessly, however. Some settings on my root account did not migrate. My jail also no longer mounts my storage directories after running the migration script.

Anyone knows how to fix this? Whenever I click add/edit/delete in jail storage area, I'm greeted with a wonderful cryptic page like this:
