Nas4Free version production

[mtiburs]

Hello,

I do not speak English and I will translate this message, I hope that the translation will not be too bad!

My question:
I use Nas4Free production and I would find a way to change the version without risks.
In fact, doing a bit like with the stable versions.
That does not bother me to have a little late, but is it that there is a place where one can see the versions that are sufficiently tested and validated for the mode of production?

I'm still 972 Nas4Free

And when I read some posts on the forum, I say to myself "I'll wait until the next" then time passes and eventually I do very little change.

How do you determine a "right version (for production)?" (the question suggests that there are wrong version ... no, I do not say that, just that it may be "less good")

The version did not translate. From your post your data seems to be very important. So I assume you make regular backups. If not that's where you start. I will also assume that you installed the embedded version.
Next you save your configuration. Get a new USB stick and install the latest stable and restore the configuration. See if it works which it does in most cases. If not plug in your old USB stick and you are where you started.

... and install the latest stable

How do I know if it is stable?
This is the question my post
For me the latest version is not always stable, perhaps the last, either


Otherwise,

I'm pretty paranoid so I Nas4Free of "clones" with rsync backup with the option;-)

I have Nas4Free in embedded and other disk-based (for SSH and scripts)

I agree that I can do this kind of manipulations, but I will not do that to each new version of Nas4Free! is too often.

Also, my versions are different, many in ZFS and sometimes iscsi.
For ZFS, I would not go through an upgrade on pools and unable to go back.
I recently had the case with Linux / Debian Wheezy in to Jessie and suddenly I do not know if my pools can be compatible with my current Nas4Free (They were totally with version 972 Nas4Free and wheezy).
This last point also complicates things, I conceive.

the zfs pool does not upgrade automatically.
you can leave it in the version you are running. i do.

that way you can go back to the earlier version.

9.3.0.2.1681 Is latest Stable , and must work on your production NAS.

Do not upgrade ZFS versión until you do some test and are really sure that all works fine.

Once upgrade ZFS to ver5000 you can't read ZFS pool using old 972 version of Nas4Free

PD: I recommend that finally if all test worked fine, to upgrade ZFS to latest version, you notice a small improvement on speed , but most important your pool is updated and have some bugs solved.
