iXsystems has announced the release of an update to the company's TrueNAS "SCALE" product, a network attached storage solution based on Debian. "TrueNAS SCALE 22.12.1 is the first maintenance update to 22.12.0, with over 300 improvements and bug fixes. Users still on the previous version (Angelfish) also have a simple update when using the same features and following the release notes. After a couple of weeks of community testing, we expect to recommend users to update their Angelfish and Bluefin systems to this latest release. TrueNAS SCALE Bluefin inherits all the functional capabilities of Angelfish and adds many new features. This first update (22.12.1) includes many significant improvements and bug fixes that are listed in the release notes. Highlights include: Performance improvements to further optimize various storage protocol workloads. SMB Share Proxy provides a redirect mechanism for making many TrueNAS SMB shares available in a common namespace presented by one TrueNAS system. This reduces the configuration needed for each SMB client. Sudo fields are added to replication tasks to provide the correct privileges on remote targets."

Distribution Release: TrueNAS 24.04.1.1 "SCALE" |
|
TrueNAS is a project which develops network attached storage operating systems. SCALE is the Debian-based branch of the project. TrueNAS SCALE recently received an update which significantly improves input/output performance. "After a successful release and the fastest adoption of software in TrueNAS history, TrueNAS SCALE 24.04 'Dragonfish' has its first update today. The performance being achieved is significantly beyond TrueNAS 13.0 and Cobia. Dragonfish benefits from OpenZFS, Linux, SAMBA improvements, and some TrueNAS optimizations. The performance changes may not be obvious for smaller systems, but larger systems need software performance that scales with core and drive count. Dragonfish has significant improvements in IOPS (virtualization and databases), bandwidth (video and backup), and File Metadata (directory listings). 50% more IOPS: IOPS (Input/Outputs Per Second) is a classic storage metric for transactional workloads like virtual desktops and databases. On the same platform and pool configuration (a TrueNAS M50 with 20 SSDs in 4x 5wZ1) we see 50% higher IOPS with Dragonfish when compared to TrueNAS 13.0."

Development release: FreeNAS 11.2-BETA1 |
|
The FreeNAS project has published a new development snapshot, giving users a chance to test new features in the FreeBSD-based network attached storage system. This development snapshot includes a new user interface style, the Jails framework has migrated from Warden to iocage, and the boot loader has been switched from GRUB to FreeBSD's boot loader. "The boot loader has changed from GRUB to the native FreeBSD boot loader. This should resolve several issues that some users experienced with GRUB. GRUB was introduced as a temporary solution until the FreeBSD boot loader had full support for boot environments, which it now has. The Plugins and Jails backend has switched from Warden to iocage and Warden will no longer receive bug fixes. The new UI will automatically use iocage to create and manage Plugins and Jails. Users are encouraged to recreate any existing Plugins and Jails using the new UI to ensure that they are running the latest supported application versions. Virtual machines are more crash-resistant. When a guest is started, the amount of available memory is checked and an initialization error will occur if there is insufficient system resources. When a guest is stopped, its resources are returned to the system." A more complete list of changes can be found in the release announcement. Download (SHA256): FreeNAS-11.2-BETA1.iso (659MB). |

Kris Moore has announced the availability of the release candidate for FreeNAS 11.0, a specialist FreeBSD-based operating system for computers serving as Network-Attached Storage (NAS) devices. The arrival of this build follows an unexpected downgrade of FreeNAS Coral (a ground-up rewrite of FreeNAS released in March), from stable release to "technology preview", as a large number of bugs forced many users to downgrade to FreeNAS 9.x. Consequently, the project decided to port some of Coral's feature to the 9.x base and release it as version 11: "I'm pleased to provide a quick update on the status of FreeNAS 11.0. The RC1 update was released today and can be installed via ISO image or updated to by switching to the FreeNAS-11-STABLE train in the System -> Update tab. We decided to start this series off with a release candidate (RC) version, because it is re-based on a newer version of FreeBSD (11-STABLE). This version has been tested in the nightlies for several months now, but just to play it safe we are asking for users to test out this release and let us know immediately if anything regresses. Or, if you want to let us know that it improves specific things, that's cool as well." Continue to the release announcement for further details. Download: FreeNAS-11.0-RC.iso (545MB, SHA256). |

BSD Release: FreeNAS Corral |
|
The developers of FreeNAS, a FreeBSD-based operating system for network attached storage devices, have announced the release of FreeNAS Corral. The new release (which previously carried the version label 10 during the development phase) provides users with a friendly web-based interface for managing storage, includes ZFS support out of the box and allows the administrator to run containerized applications. "The FreeNAS Development team is very happy to announce the launch of FreeNAS 10 RELEASE and, at the same time, the renaming of 10 to Corral, a new name befitting what is also a radically new version of FreeNAS! With all of the new features in FreeNAS 10, as well as its entirely new look, we decided that just slapping a '10' into the release string simply didn't do justice to the giant evolutionary step we took with this release, nor has the version numbering scheme we've been using been increasingly accurate, since we stopped basing our release numbers on that of the underlying FreeBSD OS."

Jordan Hubbard has announced the release of a new version of FreeNAS, a network attached storage project that is based on FreeBSD. The new version, FreeNAS 9.10, features the same user interface as the earlier 9.3 series, but with an updated FreeBSD core. "This is an interim release between the 9.3 series and 10 (which is still a few months away), using the same UI and middleware that everyone is used to from 9.3 but with new OS underpinnings, specifically FreeBSD 10.3-RC3. Coincident with this release of 9.10, we are also placing 9.3 into maintenance mode and will only be pushing further updates to the 9.3-STABLE train in response to the most critical security advisories or product flaws. We therefore strongly suggest that all current users of 9.3 upgrade to 9.10 in order to continue to benefit from the ongoing maintenance and bug fix work we will be doing on the 9.10-STABLE train. Most, if not all, bug fixes will be made exclusively to the 9.10-STABLE train in reaction to tickets filed on bugs.freenas.org." This release also supports USB 3.0 devices and USB network adapters.

If you are one of the folks who jumped on board with 9.3-BETA then you need merely check for and apply the update that will be waiting for you - this will update you to 9.3-RELEASE and automatically jump you to the 9.3-STABLE update train (note: if you got the very last update already, you may need to simply switch manually to the 9.3-STABLE train). If you are not currently on 9.3, then simply grab the GUI or ISO update image and update in the usual way; this is the last time you will need to do so!"

This is the last beta planned for the 8.0.1 release cycle. The image size has been increased from 1 GB to 2 GB. As more features have been added to the system it has crept towards the max size. The translations have brought this to a head, the current image just barely fits in 1 GB, but the translation effort is about 50% finished. Since an image size bump is inevitable, it's happening now. Due to this size change the system now requires a 2 GB device to install to. Furthermore, the GUI upgrade is not possible. Booting from the CD will work to do the upgrade."

This is the second of three planned betas in the 8.0.1 release cycle. Most of the changes from BETA1 are bug fixes. In particular several bugs have been fixed in the migrations from 8.0-RELEASE. The system was not relabeling ZFS volumes to use the new devicename-independent naming scheme correctly in BETA1. Also the database migration scripts in BETA1 do not migrate NFS shares properly. The upgrade/migration scripts have been improved. In previous versions failure of the database upgrade was easy to miss, and it could leave the system booting to single-user mode with error messages that had nothing to do with the root issue. This has been rectified. If a database migration does fail, the error message will be clear as to what happened." Here is the complete release announcement.

This image is being handed over to QA for the final run-through. In a perfect world the release will be this image with polishing work. Two major bits that are new are volume drive replacement in the GUI, and the ability to add to ZFS volumes, which also doubles as the ability to create stacked ZFS volumes, such as a stripe of RAIDZs (RAID 50) or a stripe of mirrors (RAID 10).

New in 8.0-RC3: there is a volume importer in the storage application, this has been tested in scenarios that are limited to what can be devised in our labs; since the ZFS upgrade procedure is non-reversable, this must be run manually, please do not upgrade your pools unless you are absolutely sure you'll never want to go back to other systems; support for 3ware 6 Gbps RAID controllers has been added, as has the CLI utility tw_cli for managing 3ware RAID controllers; the GUI supports access via HTTP or HTTPS protocols; link aggregations can be created and configured from the CLI interface."

Development Release: FreeNAS 8.0 RC2 |
|
Josh Paetzel has announced the availability of the second release candidate for FreeNAS 8.0, a small FreeBSD-based operating system which provides free Network-Attached Storage (NAS) services: "FreeNAS 8.0-RC2 is now available. We introduced an upgrade via the GUI feature in RC1, so with this release that can be taken advantage of. The ISO images can be used for new installs, and will also offer to upgrade existing installs they detect. The compressed xz images are suitable for the GUI upgrade in RC1, if you are using releases previous to that they are of no value. GUI firmware upgrades are supported, but due to a bug in the interaction between FreeBSD, lighttpd, and Python they work intermittently. There is a workaround which wasn't implemented in time for RC2 - the procedure involves running commands from the CLI shell." See the release announcement and release notes for further details.

Josh Paetzel has announced the availability of the first release candidate for FreeNAS 8.0, a tiny FreeBSD-based operating system which provides free Network-Attached Storage (NAS) services: "I am pleased to announce the availability of the first FreeNAS 8.0 release candidate. More than just a huge jump in version number, FreeNAS 8.0 blends FreeBSD 8.x technology, production-ready ZFS, and a web-based GUI with x86/amd64 hardware to make a NAS device available with a lower barrier to entry. This RC provides a number of enhancements over previous beta snapshots that have been released. The show all volumes screen shows volume status if it is a RAID device. The volume wizard allows for creating ZFS volumes with cache, log, or spare devices. Email to 'root', which includes the daily status and security run reports is now aliased to the email address provided for the GUI admin user."
