Software Update: NAS4Free 10.1.0.2.1731

Version 10.1.0.2.1731 of NAS4Free has been released, the first stable release based on FreeBSD 10.1 p14. This open source program is intended to serve as the operating system for a network attached storage device, or a NAS. Like FreeNAS, it is based on FreeBSD and both are descendants of the original FreeNAS. An extensive story about the history of and a comparison between the two is at Ars Technica to find. The release notes for this release are as follows:

NAS4Free Upgrade from below 9.3.0.2.1310 is NOT possible!!!
Upgrading NAS4Free “Embedded” or “Full” from any version below 9.3.0.2.1310 by webgui or from LiveCD/USB is problematic, due a new size of boot partition & partition layout. Please download and save your NAS4Free config to a safe place and backup all files from second partition if you use boot disk as data disk.
INSTALL FROM SCRATCH IS THE ONLY WAY!
After installation you can restore your config. Sorry for inconvenience.
** ! Tools to write extracted embedded file are not supported ! **
You must use the liveusb/CD for it’s first installation!!!.

Install from scratch notes
Embedded.img.xz is only for upgrades by WEBGUI, do not extract and write to any media!
Download NAS4Free livecd or liveusb and boot from it.
The compressed LiveUSB.img.gz needs to be extracted before you can write it to usb media, you can use it with Win32DiskImager or any other tool.
Press 9 for the install menu and perform an embedded installation.
