- How To Install The MXGE Driver In FreeNAS? - Ixsystems.com
IXsystems provides the best enterprise storage & servers driven by Open Source. Developers of FreeNAS, the #1 Open Source storage operating system. IXsystems announced today that it was making some changes around its popular open source storage software. IXsystems has two major products, the ever popular FreeNAS and the enterprise TrueNAS. With the next update the two will become one, with a few caveats. Apr 29, 2020 Of iXsystems products, the FreeNAS Mini Series is the only product line that uses WD Red drives. Most of the FreeNAS Mini systems shipped have not used DM-SMR drives. Only systems shipped with 2TB or 6TB drives since September 2019 may have the DM-SMR drives. Both iXsystems and Western Digital treat data loss as a serious event.
FreeNAS is a free and open source Network Attached Storage (NAS) software based on FreeBSD. While FreeNAS will install and boot on nearly any 64-bit x86 PC (or virtual machine), selecting the correct hardware is highly important to allowing FreeNAS to do what it does best: protect your data. Dont think the x540-t1 driver is the correct driver to load for sr-iov guest. The correct driver is the one I mentioned, which is part on the e1000 driver. Looking up updated versions to compile of the driver was my goal however it seems to be alot more complex being the config file not the driver like you suggested. An update on the bug ticket.
Abstract
The release notes for FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE contain a summary ofthe changes made to the FreeBSD base system on the 11.3-STABLEdevelopment line. This document lists applicable securityadvisories that were issued since the last release, as well assignificant changes to the FreeBSD kernel and userland. Some briefremarks on upgrading are also presented.
Table of Contents
Introduction
This document contains the release notes for FreeBSD11.3-RELEASE. It describes recently added, changed, or deletedfeatures of FreeBSD. It also provides some notes on upgrading fromprevious versions of FreeBSD.
This distribution of FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE is a releasedistribution. It can be found at https://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/ or any of itsmirrors. More information on obtaining this (or other) releasedistributions of FreeBSD can be found in the ObtainingFreeBSD' appendix to the FreeBSDHandbook.
All users are encouraged to consult the release errata beforeinstalling FreeBSD. The errata document is updated with'late-breaking' information discovered late in the release cycle orafter the release. Typically, it contains information on knownbugs, security advisories, and corrections to documentation. Anup-to-date copy of the errata for FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE can be foundon the FreeBSD Web site.
This document describes the most user-visible new or changedfeatures in FreeBSD since 11.2-RELEASE. In general, changesdescribed here are unique to the 11.3-STABLE branch unlessspecifically marked as MERGED features.
Typical release note items document recent security advisoriesissued after 11.2-RELEASE, new drivers or hardware support, newcommands or options, major bug fixes, or contributed softwareupgrades. They may also list changes to major ports/packages orrelease engineering practices. Clearly the release notes cannotlist every single change made to FreeBSD between releases; thisdocument focuses primarily on security advisories, user-visiblechanges, and major architectural improvements.
Upgrading from Previous Releases of FreeBSD
[amd64,i386] Binary upgrades between RELEASE versions (andsnapshots of the various security branches) are supported using thefreebsd-update(8) utility. The binary upgrade procedure willupdate unmodified userland utilities, as well as unmodified GENERICkernels distributed as a part of an official FreeBSD release. Thefreebsd-update(8) utility requires that the host being upgradedhave Internet connectivity.
Source-based upgrades (those based on recompiling the FreeBSDbase system from source code) from previous versions are supported,according to the instructions in/usr/src/UPDATING.
Important: Upgrading FreeBSD should only beattempted after backing up all data and configurationfiles.

Since their 11.3 release, both TrueNAS and FreeNAS have been close to parity while the former is focused on their enterprise-grade support and other enterprise needs. With TrueNAS 12.0 due out later this year, both products will be based on a single software image and name.Tape Drive Support | IXsystems Community
The folks at iXsystems hopes this unification will improve development speed, increase the quality of the software, efficiency gains, simplified documentation, and other benefits.TrueNAS CORE is the offering that will be what FreeNAS was. TrueNAS CORE is community-supported, open-source, and follows other trends set by FreeNAS. It is TrueNAS Enterprise meanwhile that will be their enterprise-focused FreeBSD-based storage operating system.
