OmniOS Community Edition releases r151026m, r151024am & r151022bk are now available.

r151026

Bug Fixes

  • illumos Issue 7941 cannot use crypto lofi on a block/character device
  • Newer versions of the iproute2 utilities fail in an lx zone with ('DONE truncated', 'Dump terminated')

Other Changes

  • Automatic naming is now supported for boot environments created during package operations. This is configured via the new auto-be-name image property which specifies a template for the new name; see the man page for the pkg command for more information and examples. A suggested property value is omnios-r%r which results in BE names such as omnios-r151026m:

    # pkg set-property auto-be-name omnios-r%r
# pkg update
...
A clone of r151026 exists and has been updated and activated.
On the next boot the Boot Environment omnios-r151026m will be
mounted on '/'.  Reboot when ready to switch to this updated BE.
