FreeNAS wordt tegenwoordig door IXsystems uitgegeven, maar er is nog steeds een aantal ontwikkelaars die aan de 'oude' 7.2-versie werken en zij hebben nog een laatste update uitgebracht. Met FreeNAS kan een in het netwerk opgenomen computer als network attached storage-machine worden ingezet, dus puur en alleen voor het opslaan van data. Het geheel is gebaseerd op FreeBSD versie 7.3 en voorzien van een overzichtelijke webinterface. De systeemeisen zijn laag. Zo is 128MB ruimte nodig voor een installatie en is 256MB geheugen al voldoende om het te laten draaien. FreeNAS heeft ondersteuning voor een groot aantal netwerkprotocollen en kan eventueel ook worden ingezet als UPnP-, web- en iTunes-server, of om BitTorrent-bestanden mee te downloaden. Het changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen zien:
Upgrade NotesOther Notes
- Before upgrade you must always backup your configuration file, your system disk and all your data (if possible).
- DO NOT use firmware upgrade if your installed FreeNAS revision is lower than 0.7.2(5175).
- If your version is after 0.7.2(5175), you can upgrade it by any ways.
- If your version is lower than 0.7.2(5175), and you install by option #1 (no data in the boot disk), and there is space of at least 128MB in the boot disk, you can upgrade it from LiveCD. Otherwise, a new installation is necessary. (This procedure formats the boot disk.) And, you must remove the mount point of the boot disk, and add it again.
Downgrade Notes
- The system requirements are changed. The minimum space to install:
- OS disk: 128MB(120MiB), Mem: 384MB for embedded.
- OS disk: 400MB(380MiB), Mem: 256MB for full.
Release Notes
- Downgrading from 0.7.2 to any version lesser than build 0.7.2(5726) is not supported.
