Why I downgraded to 11.2u7 from 11.3

[Dariusz1989]

Hey

This was a fairly painful week for me because of this update. I gotta say... very I'm very sad that I had to do this.

List of issues:

1. Removal of netData & no equal/50% as good replacement
2. Unable to create new snapshots > https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/unable-to-create-new-snapshot-in-11-3.82327/
3. Unable to VM on freenas trueCommand - netData "replacement" > https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/how-to-install-on-freenas.82310/#post-569659
4. Unable to replicate > https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/unable-to-replicate-in-latest-freenas.82303/ & other users > https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/11-3-replication-new-method-not-working.82175/
5. FreeNas native metrics no longer scroll to latest second > https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/freenas-11-3-metrics-no-longer-latest.82329/
6. Unable to delete multiple snapshots ( to "maybe fix" replication tasks ) > https://www.ixsystems.com/community...ultiple-snapshots-to-delete-using-11-3.82326/
7. The front dashboard is terrible, the old dashboard was great, top left Hardware specs, top right network, below Pool status + hdd temp on hdd click, below that Mem/cpu usage/ temp + load average - for quick "status" check that was great. The new dashboard is just bad. Too many clicks to get in to anywhere and no useful data. - frankly, I did not dig into it, it just felt less helpful out of the batch thus I ignored it.
8. The "some how working replication task" even tho it copied 5tb the folder was empty on windows and no data was visible. Possibly > https://www.ixsystems.com/community...eems-to-work-but-files-are-not-visible.50306/

This is my 1st rollback using freeNAS OS. Very sad day :- (

Hope next releases will be more "stable".

A cherry on top, looks like downgrade deleted my jails! Thanks !

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Edit
I found another issue
9. Snapshot no longer shows used/referenced tabs. Why would that be removed from front view given the table style to detail view? Extra clicks for no real help! Please bring it back!

You need to adjust the config.json for the older version of iocage. There should have been a warning in the release notes. If you have a snapshot of your jails from before update, you can mount it and compare.

I wish I knew that. I have very old snapshots from october 2019. Looks like I lost my plugins ! :- ((((
I also tried making new jail/plugin but I keep getting an error! :- (
