FreeNAS, a free implementation of a minimal FreeBSD distribution, has just reached version 9.2.0 Beta.

Highlights of FreeNAS 9.2.0 Beta:

• The Kernel UMA allocator is now the default for ZFS; • The built-in admin user account is no longer used and the Admin Account has been removed; • A complete REST API has been created for FreeNAS; • HTTP and HTTPS access to the FreeNAS graphical interface are no longer mutually exclusive; • The results from the latest ZFS scrub now appear in Volume Status.
