Announcing FreeNAS 9.2.1.1-RELEASE
Release Notes for FreeNAS 9.2.1.1-RELEASE
- Samba (SMB/CIFS support) upgraded to version 4.1.4, with select key fixes cherry-picked from 4.1.5. This version adds support for SMB3, the ability for FreeNAS to be a Windows Domain Controller, and advanced features like server-side copy support in Windows 2012 and later, along with multiple years worth of improvements over the version of Samba that shipped in 9.2.0. Samba4 also enables SMB protocol version 3. Previous versions of FreeNAS limited samba to SMB2 because of random crashes that would occur using SMB3. We also fixed a number of Samba issues specific to FreeNAS in 9.2.1.1 – see the fixed bug list for details.
- A system dataset (.system) is now created in a user-configurable pool, the default being the first pool found. This can be changed in System->Settings->Advanced, the .system dataset being created as needed. This dataset becamse necessary for storing persistent Samba permissions, and is also being leveraged for other purposes, like collecting core files (which otherwise might overflow the limited system partition space) and storing system log files. It will be used for additional purposes as FreeNAS evolves.
- A panic that occurred with VIMAGE jails has been fixed.
- A bad bug with jail templates that caused them to be gratuitously downloaded has been fixed. See the fixed bugs query above for details.

Status of GNOME 3 on OpenBSD

It's been a while since I wanted to write something about the state of GNOME as a day-to-day Desktop on OpenBSD. It's no secret amongst OpenBSD people that the company I work for maintains (amongst other things) a park of a few thousand OpenBSD Desktops around the world.Read more...

Kris just posted a call for testers for a new methodology for major
system upgrades (such as 9.2 -> 10.0 -> 10.1, etc..) and we are
looking for people who are still running 9.2 to try it out.
