Release Notes for FreeNAS 8.0.3-RELEASE
*** IMPORTANT ***
- The image size increased in 8.0.1-BETA3. The new size requires a 2 GB
storage device. The GUI upgrade can be used to upgrade a system from
BETA3, BETA4, or RC1 but upgrades from earlier releases can only be
done from the CD. The other option is to save the config, reinstall
the new version, then restore the config.
- FreeBSD can be really touchy with hardware. Please be sure to update
your BIOS/BMC firmware when upgrading / installing FreeNAS if you run
into OS hang issues. There have been cases identified where a BIOS
upgrade has fixed driver hangs, and/or other issues with FreeNAS; one
such example was with an Intel 82578DC motherboard, as noted in the
FreeNAS 8 forum thread titled "8.0.3-RELEASE coming soon..":
http://bit.ly/rq78Q3 , post # 70-88. Again, please only do this if you
experience booting / runtime issues, as some vendors don't test
FreeBSD interoperability as much as others between major firmware
releases.
- Previous builds were branded as i386/amd64 (32-bit and 64-bit
respectively). 8.0.3-RC1+ rebranded the architectures as x86 and x64,
respectively.

Changes since 8.0.2-RELEASE:続きを読む
Enhancements
------------------------
Reduce FreeNAS footprint
========================
1. Use smaller block and frag sizes for /etc and /var .
2. Import a build tweak to nuke /var/db/pkg to save ~7MB space.
3. Other build tweaks to remove non-essential features and packages from
the image.
Middleware
========================
1. Hide Etc/GMT* timezones as they're behavior is counterintuitive and
conflicts with Windows 7 semantics (see r8707).
2. Add tunable / sysctl support so settings that affect kernel behavior
persist across upgrades.
AD/CIFS
========================
1. Bump samba from 3.5.11 to 3.6.1.
2. Address simple failure cases with getting Kerberos tickets (clock
skew) and joining AD domains (invalid passwords, bad short domain names,
etc) so that users could better rectify improperly configured NAS boxes;
this means that if either of these cases fail, the GUI will now inform
the user that the 'Active Directory' service is stopped.
3. Fix cachetool to better prevent potential race condition at boot between
winbindd and ix-cache.
AFP
========================
1. Bump netatalk to 2.2.1.
2. Add knob for controlling the maximum number of configurable connections
(see ticket: 847).
3. Only advertise services via avahi if they're enabled (see ticket: 852).
Rsync
========================
- NFSv4 ACL support (see: r8375, r8414).
Misc
========================
1. Upgrade ataidle to 2.6.
2. Upgrade nut / net-snmp to 2.6.2 and 5.7.1, respectively.
3. Import omnibus build system fixes to fix the fact that the 8.0.3-BETA1
image was broken due to the environment of the build machine where it
was produced on. This also fixes other items, such as DDNS because of
build environment tainting.
4. Increase the /var md size from 74MB to 160MB s.t. samba will be able
to service requests copying large sets of files, and the rest of the
system will be able to play nicely with samba to a certain degree.
More tuning is required for larger samba userbases.
