Major Change!

cifs/smb note:
==============
From Samba 4.5.0 and up the default value for the "ntlm auth" option is changed from "yes" to "no".
This may have impact on very old clients which doesn't support NTLMv2 yet.
Only if you really need NTLMv1 Authentication you can set in Additional Parameters: "ntlm auth = yes".

BUILD 11.1.0.4.4729

Changes after release 11.0.0.4.4619
===============================
- Update translations.
- Webgui framework/code improvements.
- Add handling instructions for smartmontools for unkown USB mass storage devices.
- Upgrade php to 7.1.10.
- Upgrade tmux to 2.6.
- Upgrade syncthing to 0.14.39.
- Upgrade virtualbox-ose to 5.1.30.

Fixes
- Fix snmp start, hrPrinterTable: printcap entry for <noname?> has errors.
- Fix define class before inheriting.

Note:
Clear your browser's cache to avoid display issues after upgrade when coming from older release like past 11.0 series.
Make a new backup of your system configuration and store this on safe location.

Enjoy!

Update without any problem, thank you dev team.

The embedded version updated OK from the previous version after commenting out these lines in /etc/rc.firmware there:

Code: Select all

exec </dev/console >/dev/console 2>/dev/console

I also saw that /etc/rc.firmware is quite different now, so I tried to “upgrade” from this version to the same version. Enable Firmware Update button worked fine, but the actual update hung:

Code: Select all

2803  -  I      0:00.01 /bin/sh /etc/rc.firmware upgrade /var/tmp/ftmp/firmware.img

Looks like the problem is still related to /dev/console, as the current code does something akin to:

Code: Select all

echo here | tee /dev/console

which also hangs on my system.

hi all

i have le litle problem with has on a cluster, it's loose parameter secondaray and primary position after stop for y or x action.
when i push hast master to slave status, both node reboot with no explain.

[doktornotor]

Yeah, commenting out that nonsense redirection helps... except for missing /var/tmp/ftpm; the rc.firmware script needs to create that directory if it doesn't exist *before* trying to create a ramdisk in there.

As for

Code: Select all

printf <something> | tee /dev/console

sigh... please revert this. What's the obsession with /dev/console here? Absolutely NOT needed, wanted or desired for updating firmware.

status_disks.php shows the size per transaction, the number of transactions per second and the throughoutput.
diag_infos_disks.php shows the interface speed which is 6Gb/s in your case.

[Victek]

Thanks, indeed, and as you see the throughput is zero but I tested copying two threads and the throughput (112MBpsec) is indicated as:


da0 10.00TB ST10000VN0004-hdd_1 ZFS Storage Pool 64.73 KiB/t, 2 tps, 0.12 MiB/s
da1 10.00TB ST10000VN0004-hdd_2 ZFS Storage Pool 60.67 KiB/t, 2 tps, 0.10 MiB/s
da2 10.00TB ST10000VN0004-hdd_3 ZFS Storage Pool 61.40 KiB/t, 2 tps, 0.10 MiB/s

How can I translate these figures into MBps?..

can you reflash this firmware after change console from sc to vt for me?

please add in System > Advanced > loader.conf first

name: kern.vty
value: vt

and then the second,

name: hw.vga.textmode
value: 1

Please reboot and re-flash,
Thanks

The behaviour is the same after these tunable changes. The script hangs and tee remains in ttydcd state:

Code: Select all

  PID USERNAME      THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE   C   TIME    WCPU COMMAND
 2840 root            1  52    0  8320K  1932K ttydcd  1   0:00   0.00% tee

I don't have a screen attached. Never had.

With rc.firmware from trunk:

Oct 20 22:32:07 nas4free root: Perform Embedded Upgrade: force mount /cf in read-write mode - failed.

Other than that, and the still missing mkdir -p ${FTMP}, it works.

As for the first hunk, already explained the missing directory issue.

As for the /cf remount, my guess would be it takes too much time before the image is unpacked, so the previously unmounted /cf gets remounted meanwhile (readonly) and then the subsequent attempt to remount it read/write fails.

Updated embedded version with no problems on a HP N40L microserver with 2GB ram and 3 discs in a ZFS array

[doktornotor]

As for this commit: https://sourceforge.net/p/nas4free/code/4760/

1/ No it's not created via lighttpd when you relocate lighttpd_uploaddir via rc.conf. There's a perfectly good reason to do that to avoid filling a ramdisk with a large upload...
2/ Why would anyone break firmware upgrade because of this? mkdir it instead of producing annoying needless fatal failure... Ugh. Or, honor $lighttpd_uploaddir instead.

I'm experimenting in my Mac the same bug described here:

https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/20095

[Cordel]

N4F - 11.1.0.4.4729 released - embeded
So I have been trying to research why this update has introduced lag when selecting different sections in the webGUI and I see CURL errors in the logs that really haven't helped me track down whats going on.
My knowledge of the internals for NAS4Free are fairly low, as I have not ever had an issue on this system or N4F so never needed under the hood so to speak. This system is now around ten years old though and on a closed network.

Code: Select all

Nov  3 19:54:01 nas smbd[2778]:   Could not find child 4015 -- ignoring

So in my quest to trouble shoot whats going on, I tied into my serial port for console access (server board with no video) and found that the only option I can get to work as expected is option 6 to go into the shell. All other options return nothing but a single cairrage return and hang, and nothing even echos on the screen including carriage returns produce no activity in the screen. Ctrl-c will break out and the option menu is re-output.

I seen the update to NAS4Free-x64-embedded-11.1.0.4.4812 so naturally figured the thing to do is update. Updating from the webGUI I get to the screen that the server will reboot, though it never does even after 24hrs.

So I downloaded the USB live image and loaded a USB drive to upgrade, still have the same issues in the console menu as described above. Can't configure interfaces, set an IP, upgrade, or any other option except go to the shell.

So I'm at a complete stand still, not sure where else to look as I have found little in the logs to point me in any direction.

I found this thread and tried:

Code: Select all

please add in System > Advanced > loader.conf first

name: kern.vty value: vt

and then the second,

name: hw.vga.textmode value: 1

Please reboot and re-flash,

The update is hung, and the system is not rebooting. Any direction would be appreciated.

Code: Select all

[Cordel]

So I managed to fix most of my issues, as there seems to be erroneous characters in the rc.firmware file attached to most of the lines with:

Code: Select all

</dev/console >/dev/console 2>/dev/console

But I was unable to solve why most of the console menu via serial does not work. The only option I can get to function through all recent versions including NAS4Free-x64-*-11.1.0.4.4812 is option to go to shell. All the rest of the options from the serial console menu are not functional. Every function that includes cdialog just hangs.
