Vrijdag is de finalrelease van versie 0.70 van FreeNAS uitgebracht. Met dit pakket kan een in het netwerk opgenomen computer als NAS worden ingezet, dus puur en alleen voor het opslaan van data. Het geheel is gebaseerd op M0n0wall, een uitgeklede FreeBSD-installatie, en voorzien van een overzichtelijke webinterface. FreeNAS heeft onder andere ondersteuning voor Cifs (Samba), ftp, nfs, Rsync, ssh, local user authentication en software-raid-0, -1 en -5. Geïnstalleerd neemt FreeNAS niet meer dan 32MB ruimte in beslag, zodat het met gemak op de harde schijf of een usb-stick kan worden gezet. Het changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen zien:
Majors changes:Minors changes:
- Add ability to configure the login shell for a user.
- Upgrade Samba to 3.0.37.
- Upgrade transmission to 1.72.
- Local users must join the group 'ftp' to be able to login via FTP if 'Local users only' in 'Services|FTP' is enabled.
- Upgrade lighttpd to 1.4.23.
- Add a user portal. This allows a local user to login and change it's password. The user must have access permissions to login to the user portal. This can be configured in the user configuration WebGUI. Please note that the administrator needs to apply changes done by the local users because there have to be restarted several services (which is not allowed to be done by a user).

Permanent restrictions:
- Prohibit user 'transmission' to login via FTP.
- ZPool disk space usage isn't displayed correctly (BR 2810584).
- Improved Unison WebGUI to be able to configure ZFS shares as working directory (BR 2795084).
- Synchronizing ZFS configuration fails (BR 2814324).
- Restrict bittorrent administrative WebGUI port to [1024,65535] (BR 2835342).
- The 'Unmount disk/partition' checkbox on 'Disks|Mount Point|Fsck' was ignored (BR 2860297).
Known bugs:
- It is not possible to format a SoftRAID disk with MSDOS FAT16/32.
- It is not possible to encrypt a disk partition, only complete disks are supported.
- It is not possible to get seperate CPU stats per processor on SMP machines because FreeBSD does not support that feature.
- Enable 'polling' on interfaces used by a LAGG interface will make it inoperable.
- It is not possible to mount EXT2 disks with an inode size of 256 bytes. You have to format it with 128 bytes on Linux to use them on FreeBSD.
- If DHCP for IPv4 is used, the IPv6 statically configured DNS server will be overriden by the IPv4 DNS server.
- Downgrading to 0.69 via WebGUI fails because of broken pipe error.
- FreeBSD's ext2fs module, as of release 7.1, cannot mount ext2 file systems with 256-byte large inodes, only 128 byte sized. Unfortunately, 256 byte is the default size with many recent Linux distributions.
