Announcing FreeNAS-8.0.1-RC1

[BrokenSpring]

Thanks for RC1, will definately be giving this a try this evening.

I just have one question, are we able to add a upnp server via the plugins?

GUI upgrade from AMD64-B4 on a HP Microserver went without a hitch.

Minor note: The Hash keys listed in the OP have a space inserted midway through them and therefore are invalid, use the ones in the readme.txt file (available in the download area).

Thanks for the new release, especially the new version of Appletalk.. Timemachine is now working again.

I can't see any sign of iozone. Where's it supposed to be installed?

If you try Global Configuration or network summary as the indents under the Network tab - all you get is an icon that says system and two options - expand all and collapse all - neither does anything. Running 8.0.1RC1 AMD64 access via Firefox 6.0.1

UPDATE

But works OK from IE 9.0.8112

Tunning ZFS will do bupkus. I reported the bug in the first place and I had ZFS properly tunned since the begining. No, this is bug in the system.

BTW, I also reported that FN8 requires a ZFS tunning algo by default and OOB however, nothing so far.

So, globus999, I assume this probably isn't fixed yet. I don't understand why this isn't a bigger issue for more people. I'm thinking in my situation it is due to having a number of torrents seeding (to keep registered tracker ratios high).

How much RAM is in the system? Decompressing the xz could have run the system out of RAM, causing the system to kill processes to try and free up memory. Sounds like it killed the django backend.

It's in /usr/local/bin You have to use the CLI to play with it.

Hmm, just tried upgrading from 8.0.1-BETA4. After the new image uploaded, I got the following error on the console:

kernel: pid 1692 (python), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space

Then upgrade process was stalled at this point, the GUI was dead ("500 Internal Server Error"). I tried to reboot from the console. That was successful, but came up as BETA4, not RC1.

Any ideas?

Thanks. After I posted my message last night I was thinking the same thing, but it was getting late . This is a VMWare instance and I had it set to very low RAM because I was experimenting with ZFS replication and didn't have enough RAM in this system to keep everything up and running with larger RAM.

This morning I bumped up the RAM and tried it again and this time it went off without any problems. I have updated the original post to reflect this.

RC1 has a new feature with a rather nasty side effect, it makes it impossible to spin down the drives because of this:

Sep  1 18:55:01 shrek freenas[8941]: Popen()ing: zpool list -H -o health storage1
Sep  1 18:55:01 shrek freenas[8941]: Popen()ing: zpool list -H -o health backup1
Sep  1 19:00:01 shrek freenas[8972]: Popen()ing: zpool list -H -o health storage1
Sep  1 19:00:01 shrek freenas[8972]: Popen()ing: zpool list -H -o health backup1

The above will 'ping' all drives every 5 minutes, meaning no spin down.
