No Virtualbox after upgrade

Post by ik0 »

Hello, I've upgraded my x86 NAS4Free, from some 10.2 release to latest build and I'm very disappointed that VirtualBox has disappeared. After upgrade I read that it's x64 feature only. My question is - why ? Is there some technical reason ?!? Can I install it somehow manually ? I was very happy wit Virtualbox in previous release. I think it should be more clear written somewhere to warn users before upgrade.

I have found 2 reasons to make 64-bits feature only.

I did found 32-bits version unstable at build and also i think this must be proper used on systems with some ram onboard.
Also 10.x series is last 32-bits os we will release, next will be 64-bits versions only.
System specs: XigmaNAS 11.2.0.4 -embedded on Samsung 860 EVO 256GB and Supermicro X10SL7-F w / Bios v3.2, IPMI v.03.86 / CPU E3-1241 v3 @ 3.50GHz - 32GB Crucial DDR3L 1600mhz ECC 1.35v , LSI 2308 on PH20.00.07.00 IT mode, Storage: 5x Western Digital Red (WD30EFRX) raidz

Development system is same system in virtualbox.

Hello and thanks for answer. I don't think it's good to break things like this, especially if you plan to stop 32bit support anyway, but it's up to you. I have another question (maybe offtopic) - is there easy way to upgrade from x86 to x64 ? Just importing x86 config file to x64 Nas4Free - does it works ?

If your cpu Is 64bit capable. YES. Is as easy as do a new install And restore your previously saved config.
12.1.0.4 - Ingva (revision 7743) on SUPERMICRO X8SIL-F 8GB of ECC RAM, 11x3TB disk in 1 vdev = Vpool = 32TB Raw size , so 29TB usable size (I Have other NAS as Backup)
