FreeNAS0 – Finishing Touches & 11.3
The journey that started back here when I seriously started looking at components for FreeNAS0 almost seems complete so I thought I’d blog about some finishing touches and my upgrade to 11.3.

Very much like my update at the beginning of 2019, I go into 2020 with FreeNAS up-to-date. I’m running the latest version (11.2-U7) on both of my machines, all of my jails are all on the latest version of FreeBSD possible (11.3-p5), and they are mostly running the latest packages. The biggest change this year is hardware-related, as I’ve just finished building FreeNAS0, moving FreeNAS1 to backup duties, and retiring FreeNAS2 (which will be going on eBay shortly!)

FreeNAS0 is now the master, but perhaps it just the 9 hours of Star Wars I enjoyed on Wednesday night/Thursday morning!
