It also allows you to use older hardware that would otherwise be thrown away, so in many respects FreeNAS is green technology!!!<br /><br />Please ensure that version .7 users have an easy upgrade path. I use Ubuntu Linux and am getting reasonable good on it. I really dont want to have to learn another Linuix flavour, just to install the latest release of FreeNAS. <br /><br />I like FreeNAS and wish you all good luck, but please listen to you users.<br /><br />NickNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06215203223273170908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32797070.post-68739757173326322922011-03-14T10:02:58.234-06:002011-03-14T10:02:58.234-06:00Hi Warner,

If the support is there, you are going to make me a happy guy as I have two quad core servers waiting to take the FREENAS plunge.<br /><br />Many thanks!

For example UPS support and email reports.<br />And I lost all my data in the upgrade, but I think that it could be possible not to lose it, using the shell. But I'm only testing FreeNAS with few disks and the loss wasn't great. However in the future I will use about 10 drives and lose all of data in the upgrades will be dramatic.<br />Great job to the team and best regards.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13639330350354753585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32797070.post-90217535963184726092011-02-11T09:51:55.193-07:002011-02-11T09:51:55.193-07:00Warner, moving to freebsd 8 is a great step forwar...Warner, moving to freebsd 8 is a great step forward.

What a real shame. I wonder about all the features ppl are already saying are missing/dumbed down.. Will they appear in a "paid" version down the road? What about this "new" stuff dealing with installs? Are people like myself screwed if we have headless units? Maybe I'll be wrong, and I hope so, but every single project that I have been part of totally crapped out and became useless when a business "took it over".

Could you add support for -maproot=root for the export? This works out much better as all users are mapped to their own uid on the NFS share and root on the client machine may write to the NFS share as local root. I don't like the -mapall=root option and would never use it anyway.<br /><br />thanks for the hard work.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415197353537437894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32797070.post-37352994373814018082011-01-14T13:04:40.898-07:002011-01-14T13:04:40.898-07:00Is there a developers release or snapshots that th...Is there a developers release or snapshots that the community can get involved with contributing to?<br /><br />also any information channels on development forurm/blog/wiki/mailing lists?<br /><br />ThanksUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16326623386219224742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32797070.post-71812766723505998002011-01-04T03:40:49.178-07:002011-01-04T03:40:49.178-07:00I'm looking forward to this new release and ho...I'm looking forward to this new release and hope it can still be installed to a CF Card.

I've just finished playing with version 8...Hi,<br /><br />I've just finished playing with version 8 Beta (5698) and have a few comments on it.<br /><br />1) It seems a little unstable - I had swap errors, the GUI died ended up having to reboot it.<br /><br />2) ZFS seems a little flakey. You can't import existing pools into version 8 and see them in the GUI. The zpool import works but there's no apparent way to make the GUI see them.<br /><br />3) You can't seem to create multiple shares in a pool? There's a 1-2-1 relationship and that's it? <br /><br />freenas# zpool list <br />NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT<br />data 3.62T 159K 3.62T 0% ONLINE -<br />temp-data 928G 328G 600G 35% ONLINE -<br /><br />freenas# zfs list <br />NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT<br />data 108K 2.67T 31.4K /mnt/data<br />temp-data 328G 586G 328G /mnt/temp-data<br /><br />I'd expect to create a pool and then create whatever shares I want in that pool.<br /><br /> i.e. <br /><br />freenas# zfs create data/share1<br />freenas# zfs create data/share2<br />freenas# zfs create data/share3<br /><br />freenas# ls /mnt/data<br />share1 share2 share3<br /><br />Your current GUI wont do this.<br /><br />I'd suggest that your Beta is actually more like a Alpha with regard to ZFS and functionality. Don't get me wrong it's great you've done all of this but it needs a lot more work on the ZFS side of things to make it worthwhile as a ZFS appliance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32797070.post-89959722274513873612010-12-23T15:01:52.812-07:002010-12-23T15:01:52.812-07:00i have to agree, without clear ISCSI set-up and us...i have to agree, without clear ISCSI set-up and use and limited other functionality its only worth an Alpha sticker right now.<br /><br />OC GNU/kFreeBSD http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODg0Ng <br />is fun too, as i like to have the option to run and play with REBOL/ORCA, far more Fun than PythonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32797070.post-16120048135948226842010-12-21T20:41:57.065-07:002010-12-21T20:41:57.065-07:00Brilliant work!
