 So I'm here from Lawrence systems and we're going to talk about free nas 11.3 you to update So if you don't learn more me more about me or my company over to Lawrence systems.com like to hire short project There's a hires button up at the top if you want to support this channel and other ways There's some affiliate links down below they get you deals and discounts on products and services We talk about on this channel free nas. They've been busy busy bug fixing now It is not lost to me and I am aware that my drives has degraded. That's a story for another time When it's all resolved, maybe I'll do a video about it But you know drives fail raids not backup, but I trust CFS and the fact that you know This system keeps on working because just because one dry fails doesn't mean I lost all my data And I know raids not a backup and all my data is backed up back to free nas So this update doesn't represent a absolute Major amount of changes but more about fixes where do these fixes come from when people report them and report bugs And I want to start it out there because this version includes nearly combined 150 bug fixes updates and improvements some highlights and A version that glued the new version of samba fix a middleware memory leak Which I didn't see this problem, but glad they fixed it a mitigation for specific LSX iCards and a new version of samba now You can go in here and read through every detail And I don't have time to cover every little bug and a lot of them are just a lot of little bugs disc serial number field contains formatting error Autocomplete doesn't work for combo boxes and data set permissions Can't export pool can't export but can't import pool I didn't see this because they didn't have any failures to help me or any clients with it where we've had to re-import a pool But I'm really happy to see things like this fixed Animated icon causes laptop fan to run continues. I like the way it's worded the reality is This was interesting because the animated icon when you're doing like a replication task Was using too much CPU and yes, I did notice this on my laptop I'm like, why is that one browser tab using so much resources on my particular laptop and When I was watching replication tasks because well I was replicating all the data from this system and making sure the replication works for backup purposes And you know duplicating on another free NAS that we have here at the office So it worked fine, but it did pull a lot of CPU power in the browser So those are a lot of little fixes now a few people had asked me about this vliant interfaces Not displayed connecting in GL properties because I did the vliant video and I know there was a few YouTube comments on there I didn't see this problem particularly, but I know it existed and they did fix it So there's all the good reasons to update to this version. I didn't have any problems when I ran the update It didn't really cause me any drama on the few systems that I've got so far We're gonna be rolling it out probably over the weekend for some of the client ones But so far so good because it's just a lot of minor bug fixes It's generally a good update to load and shouldn't represent any major changes this particular bug I found quite annoying because I was working on a video in this this particular bug stopped me from doing my video I did see there was already a ticket open for this problem So I was gonna wait till the fix before I could do some new videos on extent I need to do some new getting started with free NAS videos And I was gonna cover exactly the snapshots But when the snapshots had some errors and I didn't I knew how to work around them And I didn't ever want to work around them in a video I wanted to make sure the bug was fixed. So existing snapshot tests we keep working But if you created new ones the defaults in the UI were giving this error because the when it would pass the data back to the middle Where some of it was invalid So there was ways like I said, there's work around so to speak But workarounds are a pain updates fix these problems. And once again, you can see the team over free NAS is Working fast at this and if you didn't know about their JIRA system You can go over here and dig through their JIRA issues and see anything So if you're having a problem, you can first see if the problem exists already Then you can see when it's targeted to be updated like when things are part of the unresolved Right now, so if there are bugs you could find them in here. That's one of the important things I like to remind people though bugs get fixed when people properly document make them Repeatable so they can understand what they are submit them to the developers And that's how this lifecycle works of process development It does not work by just going around and saying the software is garbage because it has a thing in it that You found that's a problem. I just bring it up because I get weird messages and emails of From people telling me that the software is garbage Because it doesn't have this or either sometimes because they didn't read the manual or sometimes they legit find a bug But if you really want in the open source community to be a participant in it This is why free NAS has public bug systems and they show you the progress the software it's all being developed in the open and I think they're doing a great job here of getting these updates out the 11.2 series represented quite a bit of changes the 11.3 is a little bit more incremental But they're really working towards and of course, there's the convergence all to the newer version where they merge the true NAS and their free NAS So they only have one code base to make their lives easier from a development Which I still think is a wonderful thing that they're doing there So as we inch towards that the work probably gonna see more updates from them And if you have bugs you're having problems. They do have a system like I said to submit to it I know I'm selling a broken record on that and repeating myself But it is this a really important aspect But so far everything works fine in it The Jails came back up and running the plugins seem to be working and I'll be working on some new videos with it now that That particular bug was really vexing me when Dealing with the creating periodic snapshots, but everything else seems to work even after I updated except did it yesterday Here are my snapshot tasks that are working. They are finishing fine. My replication tests are finished and working fine So everything so far no problems with the system and Replication to the other system work perfectly fine here, too So that's I wanted to wait 24 hours at least till it's gone through a full cycle of the little things that have to run on each of these servers And like I said, all of them seem to be working I even started updating my home server and that went fine too so far no problem That's the one that runs the steam box So I seem to have no problems these updates I do highly recommend them because of the number of minor bug fixes I think it's fairly important update With lower risk because it's not like a lot of changes made to the system in terms of new features being added This was really a focus on bug fixing Obviously just go in check for updates load the updates always have a backup before you do it read It's not a backup so back up your data back up all the configurations Which I do like that they when you go and do these updates it prompts you Hey, you should update you to download the latest config and back it up Yes, definitely follow and do that before you do this update.
