FreeNAS is bijgewerkt naar versie 8.0.1. Met dit pakket kan een in het netwerk opgenomen computer als 'network attached storage' worden ingezet, dus puur en alleen voor het opslaan van data. Het geheel is gebaseerd op FreeBSD versie 8.2 en voorzien van een overzichtelijke webinterface. Waar de systeemeisen in versie 7 nog heel laag waren en het prima op een oude computer kon draaien, is er voor versie 8 iets uitgebreidere hardware nodig. FreeNAS ondersteunt een groot aantal netwerkprotocollen en kan ook worden ingezet als UPnP-, web- en iTunes-server, of om BitTorrent-bestanden te downloaden. In deze release zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen doorgevoerd:
Major changesChanges since 8.0.1-RC2
- django has been updated to 1.3.1 to address multiple security advisories.
- istgt has been updated to 20110928
- Base system has been updated to FreeBSD 8.2-p3, which addresses http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-11:05.unix.asc and http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-11:04.compress.asc
Changes since 8.0-RELEASE
- Fix the regex used to validate iSCSI target names so that '-' is an allowed character. (r7827)
- Multiple improvements to the UPS service. (r7841, r7842, r7843, r7844, r7845, r7846, r7847, r7848, r7849)
- Fix a bug in the GUI where zvols from multiple pools caused GUI corruption. (r7859)
- Add a button to zpools that will display zpool status in a tab.
- Set each LUN in an iSCSI target to a unique serial number. This allows vmware ESXi to see multiple LUNs per target. (r7878)
- Change the encryption type in the LDAP config screen to a choicebox instead of requiring freeform text input. (r7881)
- Remove DDP option from AFP server config. (r7883)
- Fix typo so that hosts allow and deny actually get populated in rsyncd.conf. (r7906)
- Fix deleting snapshots. (r7916)
- Add a button to volumes to manually kick off a scrub of ZFS volumes. (r7943)
- Fix smartd.conf generation bug. (r7956)
- Fix a bug preventing the import of zpools created on Solaris (r7971)
- Allow adding a public key for user ssh authentication. (r8002)
There's too much to list here, but the high points are:Errata:
- Divorced the volume members in the database from the FreeBSD devices. This resolves an issue where FreeBSD can change devices names and the GUI doesn't pick up the updates due to the devices names being hard-wired in the database.
- Support exporting ZFS zvols (virtual devices) as device extents via iSCSI. 8.0 was only able to export physical device nodes or file based extents.
- The GUI now has an event notification system.
- The email backend has been refactored.
- Many many changes in the GUI to help it validate and sanitize inputs that are passed to the backend daemons.
- Added UPS functionality.
- Added rsync client and server functionality.
- Added the ability to schedule cron jobs in the GUI.
- Vastly improved and reworked snapshot replication.
- 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.
