Upgrade from 9.2.x to 9.3x Melanox NIC drivers

[krisdz]

Hello,
I have NAS4Free version 9.2.0.1.972 and want upgrade to version 9.3.x but read in the other post that the new version do not have Mellanox drivers.
Is that true that by upgrading the NAS firmware I'll loose the NIC drivers and my 10GB network?
Cheers

just try the live usb version of 9.3 and see if it works.

if not swap back to your other usb stick with 9.2 and nothing will be changed.

I did that and the Mellanox NIC is not recognized.

NAS is a network device which store files using network connectivity.
Without network is no NAS.
What the developers were thinking when removing the most important part of NAS?
From my point of view it is disaster not upgrade.
By upgrading from 9.2 to 9.3 I'll lost my 10GB network and NAS will stop functioning as NAS.
I doubt the intention was to create self containing NAS.
Cheers

Which Mellanox NIC do you use?

Mellanox ConnectX-2 Dual Port and Single Port 10 GbE

It's not an issue of NAS4Free, it is an issue of FreeBSD. These Mellanox cards are not supported in 9.3.
You will have to go back to 9.2 and wait for N4F based on BSD 10.x
Or try your luck to use the BSD 9.2 or 10.x driver on the 9.3 version

I'll stay on 9.2
In the mean time I'll experiment with the 10.0 drivers on 9.3.
I'm wonder if some else had the same issue?
Thanks for help
