v9.10 update to v11

[Arelman]

Good afternoon all,
after a long time just letting my NAS burble along, I thought I should do upgrades and use a bit of spit and polish.
Running HP Proliant 54 with 4 WD Red, 3 Terabyte drives. 8Gb Ram, USB drive carrying the OS.

First - the attempt at update revealed message - not enough space.
I can't seem to get past this.
If I select v11 stable and change trains, I get the same outcome.

Seems like a stalemate to me.

Any clues to what I need to do?

thanks

Roger

USB drive carrying the OS.

What is the size and free space?

what I need to do?

Consider mirroring the boot drive.
EDIT: mirroring wouldn't give more space itself. It is rather a general advice...

8Gb Ram

Noob's answer: seems little.

v11

From the top of my head: some people here complain about the new versions and some stick to some previous versions...

Delete some old boot environments to free up some space on your boot drive.

. I've just checked - my boot is an 8Gb usb. My system won't interrogate it and I'm not sure how to clean it up via Freenas.

You delete them from the GUI. System -> Boot

Brilliant.
I have been a dabbler, and while it works I cope.
But when it doesn't, there are lots of things I need to find out.
Thank you so much.
