Warner Losh has announced a new beta snapshot for FreeNAS 8.0
Here’s a highlight of the issues that have been fixed since the last beta (r5606):
- Upgrades from prior FreeNAS 8 beta releases are now supported.
- zfs creation failures have been fixed. The gui would indicate it succeeded, but you couldn’t share it.
- ufs creation failures have been fixed.
- booting off USB or SCSI cdrom is now supported.
- Many disk initialization errors that showed up as odd failures have been corrected.
- lagg has been introduced.
- Errors in the network screen have been corrected.
- The storage wizard no longer says ‘of X’ when creating the storage unit. This eliminates the confusing 1 of 3 -> 2 of 2 dialog heading.
- Improved compatibility with IE and Safari.
- The installer has been streamlined.
The latest beta can be downloaded here, and the release notes can be viewed here.
Happy downloading and testing ;-)
