[zoon01]

The NAS4Free Team is pleased to announce the release of version 10.2.0.2.2223

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nas4fre ... .0.2.2223/

Everyone can upgrade from NAS4Free version 9.3.0.2.1310 or Higher.

README & CHANGELOG

NAS4Free Upgrade from below 9.3.0.2.1310 is NOT possible!!!
=====================================================
Upgrading NAS4Free "Embedded" or "Full" from any version below 9.3.0.2.1310 by webgui or from
LiveCD/USB is problematic, due a new size of boot partition & partition layout.
Please download and save your NAS4Free config to a safe place and backup all files from second
partition if you use boot disk as data disk.
INSTALL FROM SCRATCH IS THE ONLY WAY!
After installation you can restore your config.
Sorry for inconvenience.
** ! Tools to write extracted embedded file are not supported ! **
You must use the liveusb/CD for it's first installation!!!.

Install from scratch notes
======================
** Embedded.img.xz is only for upgrades by WEBGUI, do not extract and write to any media! **

Download NAS4Free livecd or liveusb and boot from it.
The compressed LiveUSB.img.gz needs to be extracted before you can write it to usb media,
you can use it with Win32DiskImager or any other tool.
Press 9 for the install menu and perform an embedded installation.

Upgrade note:
============
You must associate CARP with physical interface explicitly after upgrading to 10.X. to 10.2.
You may need modifying your NFS and AFP share setting.
You may need modifying your ftp setting, no longer SSL is supported (only TLS).
Send Buffer Size/Receive Buffer Size in CIFS/SMB is changed to 128480 since 9.3.0.2.1375.
/var and /var/tmp size has changed.
After the upgrade please do make a new backup of your config System|Backup/Restore.

ZFS User note!
After upgrading, you must re-sync ZFS configuration from Disks|ZFS|Configuration|Synchronize.

hi
please read: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26502_01/ht ... zfs-3.html
I dont really understand the zfs_arc_min and max new default value.

For me work.
But I see

Code: Select all

nasbox: ~# df -h | grep -v /mnt
Filesystem          Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/xmd0           120M     81M     38M    68%    /
devfs               1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /dev
/dev/xmd1           719M    408M    312M    57%    /usr/local
/dev/da0s1a         743M    185M    558M    25%    /cf
procfs              4.0K    4.0K      0B   100%    /proc
/dev/xmd2           496M    4.7M    451M     1%    /var
tmpfs               256M     80K    256M     0%    /var/tmp

So 120M(mfsroot) + 719M(/usr/local) + 496M(/var) + 256M(/tmp) --> Result is minimum RAM must be 2.5 G

Also +1 for kkd.
Can you add simple zfs calculator for calcilate values ?

[kkd]

doc saiz:
min default value is 64MB and "Generally, you do not need to change the default value."
max default value "75% of memory on systems with less than 4 GB of memory; physmem minus 1 GB on systems with greater than 4 GB of memory"
are different than nas4free default values. Does anyone know why?

See here http://sourceforge.net/p/nas4free/code/ ... atch-arc.c
This patch need for small memory (<16G )

[kkd]

and anyway why zfs_prefetch_disable is 1 by default? who got very-very high load of hdd? prefetch is not bad at all for average installations

so what about http://sourceforge.net/p/nas4free/code/ ... runk/conf/ ?

[alexey123]

so what about http://sourceforge.net/p/nas4free/code/ ... runk/conf/ ?

This is just for page System|Advanced|loader.conf

[kkd]

so prefetch is enabled or disabled on ur system now? check last 2 lines...

[wingenieur]

Thank you for keeping us up to date!
So far no serious issues...

[daoyama]

and anyway why zfs_prefetch_disable is 1 by default? who got very-very high load of hdd? prefetch is not bad at all for average installations

All setting is DISABLED by default. The item is place holder for easy tuning.
If you don't want/know about tuning, you don't need touch the value.
There is no best setting for all users.
prefetch is useful for some work load.
But if your access is only once or mainly writing, it prevent other performance.

nasbox: ~# df -h | grep -v /mnt
Filesystem          Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on

tmpfs               256M     80K    256M     0%    /var/tmp

So 120M(mfsroot) + 719M(/usr/local) + 496M(/var) + 256M(/tmp) --> Result is minimum RAM must be 2.5 G

Actual usage is not showed by df or other any similar utils.
Both tmpfs and xmd will allocate a memory on demand from swap space.
Also xmd will compress the memory on demand before allocating.

You can see xmd's actual value from Diagnostics|Information|Space Used or "xmdconfig -lv" from CLI.

[taffeys]

Thank you again for the actual change summary; it is very much appreciated!
