[zoon01]

Upgrading NAS4Free "Embedded" or "Full" from 9.2 or older to 9.3.0.2 from webgui or from LiveCD/USB is problematic, due a new size of boot partition.

INSTALL FROM SCRATCH IS THE RECOMMENDED WAY.
Sorry for inconvenience.

CIFS/SMB
========
Authentication has changed

Anonymous access has been dropped!

Improved security WebGUI access
=============================
When you have WebGUI Login error 403?
Make shure the pc is in the same network!
by default the System|General Setup Hosts allow field is empty so any one on
the same network of LAN interface can access the WebGUI allowed.
With a space delimited set of IP or CIDR notation you can add computers from outer network.
As an example the outer IP address and LAN address for remote access.

Experimental memory disk (geom_xmd.ko)
======================================
This version contains a special memory disk driver called "xmd".
The following are the main features.

- on-demand memory allocation and de-allocation (zero fill/TRIM support)
- on-the-fly block level compression
- multiple compression methods and levels (none, LZ4/LZ4HC, ZLIB, LZMA2)
- mixed compressed blocks (can be changed at any time by xmdconfig)
- pre-compressed mfsroot by mkuzip(8) or mkulzma(8)
- provide the ioctl interface for the xmdconfig utility like mdconfig(8)

Please start showing also changelog vs last 9.3.0.2 (1213 in this case). It's starting to be slightly confusing. Thx!

i updated my install from 9.1 to 9.3.

there is a problem with encryption caused by a different system behavior.

in 9.1 the zpool.cache file was not saved. in 9.3 it is and copied from the /cf folder.
this means that the zpools are configured but unavailable when you boot.
in 9.1 there was no zpool configured at that time.

when you now attach the drives one by one the pool become available immediately before all drives are attached with geli.
this causes the pool to go up in a degraded state. (i do this via script so it happened sometimes and sometime the attaching was fast enough)
this has caused both of my pools to go into a degraded state and i had to resilver them.

my solution for now is that i export the pools before i attach the encrypted devices.

Fixed at rev1269, thanks alexey123

I still get an access denied error as reported here - http://sourceforge.net/p/nas4free/bugs/192/

This is with a new embedded install, restore config and then Clear/Import disks.

Zeroconf has been fixed with this release or is still broken?
