I'm trying to download an old version of FreeNAS, specifically 8. I have been unsuccessful in finding an iso. Does anyone know where I can find these older versions? I need it to recover a volume on an older server.

Thanks in advance. Thank you!!!! Aaron C. Joined Jun 17, Messages Click to expand BanksiaBoy Junior Member. Joined Jul 3, Messages All the archives seem to have disappeared.

Added the ability to use a keytab for AD joins. Removed the non functional share password field from AFP shares. This volume manager allows manual vddv building and offers no seat belts. Fixed a bug that prevented building an encrypted volume using multi-path devices. To enable USB 3. This results in higher ZFS performance.

Avahi multicast DNS, aka Bonjour registration of all services, include the web service, means you no longer need to have a head on the box to know its IP address, even for initial configuration. This can be changed by changing the hostname. The built-in admin user account is no longer used and the Admin Account removed. The first time the FreeNAS graphical interface is accessed, a pop-up menu will prompt for the root password. Subsequent logins to the graphical interface will require this password.

FreeNAS no longer sends daily emails when email reporting is enabled unless actual errors or issues of concern have arisen. The plugin system now offers in-place updates for plugins, also segregating installed plugins from available plugins to make the UI less cluttered.

Netatalk has been updated to version 3. A shell button has been added to Jails, making it easy to access the command line of the selected jail. A jails templating system has been added, allowing the quick deployment of new jails from existing templates and the ability to create custom templates. Linux jail support has also been added and installation templates are included for Debian Improved performance of encrypted ZFS volumes.

In particular the GUI limited the number of sessions and the number of connections to a low value that may need to be increased if there are large numbers of targets or clients or both. The "Permit Sudo" field has been added to the add and edit screens for Users and Groups. An "Edit" button has been added to the "Hostname" field of System Information to make the hostname easier to change.

A "Create directory" checkbox has been added to the Add Storage function of a jail so that the user does not have to first access the jail's shell to make sure that the directory already exists. A "Read-Only" checkbox has also been added to this screen. Changes for v8. FreeNAS 9. Upgrades must be performed from the ISO on 4GB or larger devices, or via configuration and pool export and import if the existing boot medium is too small. Backward compatibility of FreeNAS 9.

Fix permissions on istgt files so they aren't world readable. These files can contain plaintext passwords for targets. Start nut with the ups identification from the GUI, not the generic default. Do not automtically detach geli, this can cause problems for offline, replace, etc. Fix a bug that prevented the plugin jail import from working.

Disabling this could only cause pain and suffering. Do not unlabel the disk when deleting device extents. This could cause problems when moving the disk to a different system. Add the ability to delete the password from an AFP share. Improve handling of user uploaded SSL certs, including certs that requirea passphrase. When upgrading, offer to save the config file. Always use 4K sectors when volume encryption is used.

Add testdisk and photorec to the image. These are useful tools for recovering damaged partion tables or recovering files from damaged filesystems. Handle single and double quotes in AD passwords properly.

Fix a bug that prevented snapshot replication times from working properly if the start time and end time crossed midnight. When updaing a plugin jail be extra paranoid about unmounting any null mounts into the plugin jail to ensure no data is lost from a missed null mount. Fix a bug that prevented users or groups from being deleted with UTF-8 characters in the name. Volume encryption forces a 4K sector size.

Reflect this in the GUI by forcing the "Force 4K sectors" box to checked when the encryption box is checked. Update dojo to version 1. Update the transmission plugin to version 2. Sort snapshots by bytes used instead of using a string comparison. Update samba to 3.

Improve detection of the default interface, which improves connectivity to the plugin jail. Change the example iqn of iSCSI targets to actually be a legal iqn. Disallow a locked volume to be used for uploading PBI or firmware images. Restart services after an encrypted volume is unlocked. Fix logic in volume detach for encrypted volumes.

Allow a volume to be decrypted with the recovery key. Fix several issues related to the recovery key and either rekeying a volume or setting a passphrase on the volume key.

Do not unlabel a disk being used as an iSCSI device extent. Use the correct ssh port with rsync if one is specified in the GUI. Fix start time and end time of snapshot replication. Add the iconv option to rsync. Fix a bug that was preventing the default scrubs from running. It's recommended to check the scrub schedule and be aware of it's impact on FreeNAS. Disable the ZFS encryption option when extending a volume. The system will automatically match the encryption state of the existing pool.

Commit changes to ataidle immediately rather than requiring a reboot. Fix a bug that prevented stopping the CIFS service. It was broken by the change of webserver from lighttpd to nginx. Ensure iSCSI file extents exist before trying to delete them. Pass in the disk name instead. Add zle as a ZFS compression option. Bump maximum upload size for installing PBIs.

Add a bandwidth cap to snapshot replication. If a GUI upgrade fails due to failing a pre-upgrade check display the reason. Create new pools with the autoexpand property set. Fix a bug in the bulk deletion of snapshots.

Fix a bug in the IPv4 address cleaning when importing a jail. Fix a typo that prevented the alert icon from returning to green status. Properly disconnect from the webshell. Fix backspace causing a double input in the webshell when using Firefox or IE. Fix a traceback in the NFS sharing screen when the first part of the form doesn't validate. Adjust dojo config so it handles upgrades better, by invalidating the old javascript.

Unmount any null mounts in PBI directories before updating. Ensure upload paths have the execute bit set to avoid an error uploading files. Add support for setting the serial port speed in the GUI. Update the arcmsr driver to version 1. Plugins 1.

Update transmission to 2. Allow sysvipc in jails. Fix a bug that was preventing a recursive permission change on a volume with unix permissions from working.

Fix this field is required error in the ZFS snapshot replication task screen when unchecking high speed ciphers.

Fix a bug generating plugins. Ticket 2. Fix keymap rc. FreeNAS 8. Webshell accessible from the FreeNAS web interface. A newer web toolkit is used in the GUI, enabling use of mobile browsers. An autotuning script tunes ZFS for the hardware it's running on. The GUI now supports active-passive multipath capable hardware, which targets mainly SAS drives on dual expander backplanes.

Any multipath capable devices that are detected will be placed in multipath units which are then exposed to the GUI, and the parent devices will be hidden. Plugins are now available. The GUI now includes a webshell, which allows you to access a root shell from within a web browser.

The "Create Volume" modal was renamed to "Volume Manager". Extending existing pools is more intuitive than it was previously; selecting multiple disks for a storage volume is now done via a multiselect widget instead of checkboxes to improve ease of use when creating volumes.

ZFS volumes can now have periodic scrub tasks configured for them; the default is set to 35 days to be consistent with the OS default. An autotuning script is now available -- disabled by default. It sets various tunables and sysctls based on system resources and components. A newer web toolkit is used, which behaves better with modal dialogs and more intuitively in general when compared with older versions.

On systems with multiple interfaces there is currently no way to specify which interface is used. The current system chooses the interface with the default route.

CIFS: Samba has been upgraded to 3. Create the ldap and nss secret files when LDAP integration is enabled. Ensure the configuration database is not world readable.

Remove failsafe from the PAM group file, this prevents a situation where the wheel group being empty allowed any user to su to root. A better solution will be devised in 8. Changes since 8. Tools Add arcstat. Fix case where local and remote paths passed to rsync in Rsync tasks weren't quoted, so paths with spaces in them would not work FN Disable periodic tasks in the base system that would negatively impact system performance on NAS boxes with large directory structures SF r In some scenarios this would also improve performance when fetching data from the root device as well SF r, r, r Generate istgt.

Other build tweaks to remove non-essential features and packages from the image. Upgrade ataidle to 2. Import omnibus build system fixes to fix the fact that the 8. This also fixes other items, such as DDNS because of build environment tainting. More tuning is required for larger samba userbases.

Address simple failure cases with getting Kerberos tickets clock skew and joining AD domains invalid passwords, bad short domain names, etc so that users could better rectify improperly configured NAS boxes; this means that if either of these cases fail, the GUI will now inform the user that the 'Active Directory' service is stopped. Fix cachetool to better prevent potential race condition at boot between winbindd and ix-cache. For technical reasons outside of the author's control, this feature defaults to off when upgrading FreeNAS.

AFP Bump netatalk to 2. Add knob for controlling the maximum number of configurable connections see ticket: Only advertise services via avahi if they're enabled see ticket: SSH pubkey saving was broken unless you manually add a newline to the text box. Fix traceback when trying to edit user if ssh public key was not specified.

Fix an issue where if one entered in an invalid path, the GUI would traceback instead of providing feedback stating that the directory provided was invalid.

Fix email regressions since 8. Fix an issue where if one autosnap process was killed uncleanly, more autosnap processes could back up and eventually deadlock the system. Fix an issue where the ZFS scrub cronjobs would execute every 30 days instead of a number divisible by 7, so what would generally happen is that ZFS scrubs would generally execute in the middle of the week.

Fix setting httpd to listen on an interface which is not the first interface. Add logic to create home directories on demand instead of failing 'silently' if the path to the directory didn't already exist.

This can be considered a minor release that fixes a few of the more glaring issues in 8. Major changes since 8. Upgrades from FreeNAS 0.

The installer doesn't check the size of the install media before attempting an install. A 2 GB device is required, but the install will appear to complete successfully on smaller devices, only to fail at boot. The installer will let you switch from i to amd64 architecture and vice-versa, but some files, such as the rrd files used by the statistics graphing package are architecture dependent. This resolves an issue where FreeBSD can change devices names and the GUI doesn't pick up the updates due to the devices names being hard-wired in the database.

The GUI now has an event notification system. The email backend has been refactored. Many many changes in the GUI to help it validate and sanitize inputs that are passed to the backend daemons.

Added UPS functionality. Added rsync client and server functionality. Added the ability to schedule cron jobs in the GUI. Vastly improved and reworked snapshot replication. This was done by removing msmtp and replacing it's functionality with python code.

Set an alert if this is done. This should solve intermittent django stability issues r Move the USB 3 driver to a module so it can be disabled for hardware that has issues booting with the module enabled.

Upgrades from nightly builds to RC2 and on are no longer supported. It requires a device of at least 1 GB in size. In a departure from FreeNAS 0. Features in 8. ZFS is the primary filesystem and enables usage of many features, including quotas, snapshots, compression and replication that are not available in UFS2. For the best results use one target per LUN. The iSCSI target does not support a configuration reload. Changes to the config restart the daemon. Disks with certain configs can get get probed by geom and become essentially unwritable without manual intervention.

Please note that zpool upgrade is a one way street, and upgraded volumes will not be usable with FreeNAS 0. The intention is to have the version number reflect the base version of FreeBSD used. Once FreeNAS 8. A note about filesystem technologies: While this system does support UFS based volumes, such as gmirror, gstripe, graid3, the primary focus is on ZFS. This delta is likely to increase over time, the compelling reasons to use ZFS are likely to increase as well.

Filename: FreeNAS This also goes hand in hand with the ability to add devices to ZFS volumes. For ZFS the volume wizard will now accept an existing volume name when adding volumes. If an existing volume name is specified, the volume being created will be added to the existing volume as a stripe.

Simply start with the subgroups and build up from there. If you are intending to recreate volumes and wish to reset to defaults delete the volumes before resetting to factory defaults. The email settings now contains a "Send Test Email" button. This uses the saved email settings, it can't be used to test new settings before they are saved. The GUI contains functionality to replace components in volumes.

Mainly useful for replacing failed drives in arrays, it can handle replacing devices in place or migrating devices depending on is the new device has the same or a different device name in it. The GUI contains a detach button for such cases. Notable bug fixes: AFP has received more attention. In particular shares are browseable, and time machine works.

The GUI to select users and groups are far friendlier when the system has access to large numbers of users and groups. Active Directory now starts up properly after rebooting the system. New in 8. There are features to create periodic snapshot jobs, create one time snapshots, clone snapshots which can then be exported as shares like any other dataset and rollback to previous snapshot.

VLAN interfaces are fully supported. NFS shares can be set to use the full range of maproot and mapall options. In addition, tuning is available for the NFS service to boost performance past gigE networking speeds. Users and groups available to the system from any source local users, LDAP, AD are now presented anywhere a user or group is specified, whether it's volume permissions, samba anonymous user, or NFS maproot.

Thanks to several users in the community, multiple issues with AFP have been resolved. Several ZFS options have been exposed to the GUI, and the ability to edit ZFS options such as quotas, compression, reservations on existing volumes and datasets has been added. Notable bug fixes: Several errors that were causing volume creation to fail have been resolved. User passwords were not propagating to the password files properly on creation, this was causing issues with ssh access as well as samba access.

A bug in the way FreeBSD handles empty removable devices was causing processing of the disk list to fail. If the kernel placed certain removable disks before traditional disks the failure of the processing would stop the GUI from recognizing all of the latter devices. Lockd and statd were not starting when the NFS service was started.

This has been tested in scenarios that are limited to what can be devised in our labs. It has in no way been subjected to the conditions in may encounter in the wild. The process is believed to be non-destructive, and where it's been observed to fail it has not touched the volumes. That being said, valid verified backups are recommended for volumes that are used for this. In real world conditions it may, in the words of pjd , "Hurt your teddy bear.

Please do not upgrade your pools unless you are absolutely sure you'll never want to go back to other systems. There is no reversing it, and there is no way for a system with an older version of ZFS to access pools that have been upgraded. Link Aggregations can be created and configured from the CLI interface. Creating device extents then deleting them in the iSCSI config does not properly cause the disk to show back up on the free list.

A GUI reload is required to properly populate the list. Occasionally passwords for users are not properly propigated to the CIFS database. This will expose itself as failure to authenticate to CIFS shares. The easiest workaround is to edit the user and re-enter and save the password.

Attempting to upgrade from 0. While there isn't an upgrade path from other storage solutions, including previous FreeNAS 0. A note about versions: There's been a huge jump in version numbers. It does not contain the list of new functionality that was scheduled for RC2, but it contains enough fixes that it was a significant improvement over RC1.

There is a work-around which wasn't implemented in time for RC2. The procedure involves running commands from the CLI shell. If you are running off slice 1 the firmawre will be written to slice 2, and vice versa.

The boot label is automatically updated, but during the initial boot the slice can be choosen manually, allowing for an easy reversal of an undesirable upgrade. To use the GUI upgrade feature, first configure a storage volume. This is used for temporary storage space of the image. Once that is configured, select the Firmware Update tab. Browse to the firmware on your machine and choose it. It will report success on completion, go ahead and reboot the FreeNAS box at that point and it will boot off the new firmware.

Upgrading via the install iso is still supported, simply boot off the new ISO and select your boot device from the menu.

If you are upgrading from a snapshot older than RC1 this is the only supported upgrade method. The bugs in the FTP configuration are sorted out. The GUI will now generate valid configurations or refuse to save invalid values with an appropriate error message. Errata: Volumes created with previous snapshots, betas, or builds from the sourceforge repo contained a bug in their GPT labeling scheme.

This labelling can result in reduced performance when the underlying device is a hardware RAID 5 or 6 array. The iSCSI service can generate broken configs for some scenarios. These will get fixed as feedback is received, as the number of initiators and their various configurations creates a large matrix of possibilities. Furthermore there is no way to create a Link Aggregation from the CLI, so the initial setup is at best non-intuitive.
