Announcing FreeNAS-8.0.2-RELEASE

James T. Nixon III Monday, 17 October 2011

The FreeNAS team is pleased to announce FreeNAS 8.0.2-RELEASE. This can be considered a minor release that fixes a few of the more glaring issues in 8.0.1-RELEASE.

Major changes since 8.0.1-RELEASE:

The email subsystem was not working correctly in 8.0.1-RELEASE, which resulted in the system not being able to send mail, as well as disfunction of the alerting system in the GUI.

Changes since 8.0.1-RELEASE

  • Allow decimal numbers for a dataset quota. (r8728)
  • Fix setting recursive ACLs. (r8270)
  • Start proftpd after ix-ssl to use the correct SSL cert. (r8246)
  • Use wildcards in cron and rsync jobs instead of listing all values. (r8214, r8211)
  • Fix case in iSCSI targets to match the behavior specified by RFC 3722. (r8120)

Known Issues:

  • CHAP doesn't work with GlobalSAN initiators on OS X.
  • Upgrades from FreeNAS 0.7 aren't supported.
  • The installer doesn't check the size of the install media before attempting an install. A 2 GB device is required, but the install will appear to complete successfully on smaller devices, only to fail at boot.
  • The installer will let you switch from i386 to amd64 architecture and vice-versa, but some files, such as the rrd files used by the statistics graphing package are architecture dependent.
