    6.10.0 Summary of Changes and New Features

     

    As always, prior to updating, create a backup of your USB flash device:  "Main/Flash/Flash Device Settings" - click "Flash Backup".

     

    Note: In order to permit ongoing development, some changes/features are marked experimental.  This means underlying support is included in the release, but high level functionality or UI has not been included yet.

     

    UPC and My Servers Plugin - [rc2] reworded

    The most visible new feature is located in the upper right of the webGUI header.  We call this the User Profile Component, or UPC.  The UPC allows a user to associate their server(s) and license key(s) with their Unraid Community forum account, also known as an Unraid.net account.

     

    Starting with this release, it will be necessary for a new user to either sign-in with existing forum credentials or sign-up, creating a new account via the UPC in order to download a Trial key.  All key purchases and upgrades are also handled exclusively via the UPC.

     

    Signing-in provides these benefits:

    1. My Servers Dashboard - when logged into the forum a new My Servers menu item appears. Clicking this brings up a Dashboard which displays a set of tiles representing servers associated with this account.  Each tile includes a link to bring up the servers webGUI on your LAN.  Install the My Servers plugin to provide real-time status and other advanced features (see below).
    2. Notification of critical security-related updates.  In the event a serious security vulnerability has been discovered and patched, we will send out a notification to all email addresses associated with registered servers.
    3. Posting privilege in a new set of My Servers forum boards.
    4. No more reliance on email and having to copy/paste key file URLs in order to install a license key - keys are delivered and installed automatically to your server.

     

    Once a license key has been provisioned, it is not necessary to remain signed-in, though there is no particular reason to sign-out.

    [rc2]  Exception:  A server must be signed-in to Provision and Renew a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate.

     

    My Servers Plugin

    My Servers is what we call our set of cloud-based or cloud-enabled services and features that integrate with your Unraid server(s).  Once installed here are some of the features of My Servers:

    • Real-time Status - with the plugin installed each server tile on the My Servers Dashboard will display real-time status such as whether the server is online or offline, storage utilization and other information. 
    • Remote Access link - if enabled, a link is displayed on the My Servers Dashboard to bring up a server webGUI remotely over the Internet.
    • Automatic Flash Backup - every registered server is provided with a private git repo initially populated with the contents of your USB flash boot device (except for certain files which contain private information such as passwords).  Thereafter, configuration changes are automatically committed.  A link is provided to download a custom zip file that can be fed as input to the USB Flash Creator tool to move your configuration to a new USB flash device.

     

    My Servers is an optional add-on, installed through Community Apps or via direct plugin URL.  Detailed instructions can be found here.

     

    If you have installed the My Servers plugin, signed-in servers will maintain a websocket connection to a cloud-based Lime Technology proxy server for the purpose of relaying real-time status.

     

    Security Changes

    • It is now mandatory to define a root password.  We also created a division in the Users page to distinguish root from other user names.  The root UserEdit page includes a text box for pasting SSH authorized keys.
    • For new configurations, the flash share default export setting is No.
    • For all new user shares, the default export setting is No.
    • For new configurations, SMBv1 is disabled by default.
    • For new configurations, telnet, ssh, and ftp are disabled by default.
    • We removed certain strings from Diagnostics such as passwords found in the 'go' file.

     

    Virtualization

    Both libvirt and qemu have been updated.  In addition qemu has been compiled with OpenGL support, and [rc2] ARM emulation (experimental).

     

    [rc2] To support Windows 11 which requires TPM and Secure boot, we have added TPM emulation; and, added a "Windows 11" VM template which automatically selects TPM-aware OVMF bios.  Also, here are instructions for upgrading a Windows 10 VM to Windows 11.  Special thanks to @ich777 who researched and determined what changes and components were necessary to provide this functionality.

     

    The built-in FireFox browser available in GUI-mode boot is built as an AppImage and located in the bzfirmware compressed file system image.  This saves approximately 60MB of RAM.

     

    The Wireguard plugin has been integrated into webGUI, that is, no need for the plugin.  If you had the plugin installed previously, it will be uninstalled and moved to the "Plugins/Plugin File Install Errors" page. No action is needed unless you want to press the Delete button to remove it from that page. Your WireGuard tunnels and settings will be preserved.

     

    Simplified installation of the Community Apps plugin.  The webGUI automatically includes the Apps menu item, and if CA is not already installed, the page offers an Install button.  No need to hunt for the plugin link.

     

    Let's Encrypt SSL provisioning change.  In previous releases code that provisions (allocates and downloads) a LE SSL certificate would first test if DNS Rebinding Protection was enforced on the user's LAN; and, if so, would not provision the certificate.  Since there are other uses for a LE certificate we changed the code so that provision would always proceed.  Next, we changed the logic behind the Auto selection of "Use SSL/TLS" setting on the Management Access page.  Now it is only possible to select Auto if both a LE certificate has been provisioned and DNS Rebinding Protection is not enforced.  This is a subtle change but permits certain My Servers features such as Remote Access.

     

    Linux Kernel

    Upgrade to [rc2] Linux 5.14.15 kernel which includes so-called Sequoia vulnerability mitigation.

     

    In-tree GPU drivers are now loaded by default if corresponding hardware is detected:

    • amdgpu
    • ast
    • i915
    • radeon

     

    These drivers are required mostly for motherboard on-board graphics used in GUI boot mode.  Loading of a driver can be prohibited by creating the appropriate file named after the driver:

    echo "blacklist i915" > /boot/config/modprobe.d/i915.conf

    Alternately, the device can be isolated from Linux entirely via the System Devices page.  Note that in Unraid OS 6.9 releases the in-tree GPU drivers are blacklisted by default and to enabling loading a driver you need to create an empty "conf" file.  After upgrading to Unraid OS 6.10 you may delete those files, or leave them as-is.  This change was made to greatly improve the Desktop GUI experience for new users.

     

    Added support for Intel GVT-g, which lets you split your Intel i915 iGPU into multiple virtual GPUs and pass them through to multiple VMs, using @ich777's Intel-GVT-g plugin.

     

    Added support for gnif/vendor-reset.  This simplifies @ich777's AMD Vendor Reset plugin which permits users to get their AMD video cards to reset properly.

     

    [rc2] Added so-called "add-relaxable-rmrr-5_8_and_up.patch" modified for our kernel
      https://github.com/kiler129/relax-intel-rmrr/blob/master/patches/add-relaxable-rmrr-5_8_and_up.patch

    Thanks to @ich777 for pointing this out,

     

    [rc2] Enabled additional ACPI kernel options
    [rc2] Updated out-of-tree drivers

    [rc2] Enabled TPM kernel modules (not utilized yet) - note this is for Unraid host utilizing physical TPM, not emulated TPM support for virtual machnes.

     

    Base Packages

    Virtually the entire base package set has been updated.

     

    [rc2] For SMB: Samba version 4.15 SMB3 multi-channel is no longer marked "experimental" and is enabled by default.

     

    [rc2] Per request we added the mcelog package.  With inclusion of this package, if you have an AMD processor you may see this error message in the system log:

    mcelog: ERROR: AMD Processor family 23: mcelog does not support this processor. Please use the edac_mce_amd module instead.

    We're not sure what to make of this.  It appears mcelog is begin deprecated in favor of rasdaemon.  This is something we need to research further.

     

    Other improvements available in 6.10, which are maybe not so obvious to spot from the release notes and some of these improvements are internal and not really visible:

     

    Event driven model to obtain server information and update the webGUI in real-time

    • The advantage of this model is its scalability. Multiple browsers can be opened simultaneously to the webGUI without much impact
    • In addition stale browser sessions won't create any CSRF errors anymore
    • People who keep their browser open 24/7 will find the webGUI stays responsive at all times

     

    Docker labels

    • Docker labels are added to allow people using Docker compose to make use of icons and GUI access
    • Look at a Docker 'run' command output to see exactly what labels are used

     

    Docker custom networks

    • A new setting for custom networks is available. Originally custom networks are created using the macvlan mode, and this mode is kept when upgrading to version 6.10
    • The new ipvlan mode is introduced to battle the crashes some people experience when using macvlan mode. If that is your case, change to ipvlan mode and test. Changing of mode does not require to reconfigure anything on Docker level, internally everything is being taken care off.

     

    Docker bridge network (docker0)

    • docker0 now supports IPv6. This is implemented by assigning docker0 a private IPv6 subnet (fd17::/64), similar to what is done for IPv4 and use network translation to communicate with the outside world
    • Containers connected to the bridge network now have both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity (of course the system must have IPv6 configured in the network configuration)
    • In addition several enhancements are made in the IPv6 implementation to better deal with the use (or no-use) of IPv6

     

    Plugins page

    • The plugins page now loads information in two steps. First the list of plugins is created and next the more time consuming plugin status field is retrieved in the background. The result is a faster loading plugins page, especially when you have a lot of plugins installed

     

    Dashboard graphs

    • The dashboard has now two graphs available. The CPU graph is displayed by default, while the NETWORK graph is a new option under Interface (see the 'General Info' selection)
    • The CPU graph may be hidden as well in case it is not desired
    • Both graphs have a configurable time-line, which is by default 30 seconds and can be changed independently for each graph to see a longer or shorter history.
    • Graphs are updated in real-time and are useful to observe the behavior of the server under different circumstances

     

    Other Changes

    • We switched to a better-maintained version of the WSD server component called wsdd2 in an effort to eliminate instances where the wsd daemon would start consuming 100% of a CPU core.  [rc2] Automatically restrict wsdd to listen only at the primary network interface (br0, bond0, or eth0, depending on config).
    • Fixed issue where you couldn't create a docker image on a share name that contains a space.
    • Fixed issue where 'mover' would not move to a pool name that contains a space.
    • Fixed issue in User Share file system where permissions were not being honored.
    • We increased the font size in Terminal and [rc2] fixed issue with macOS Monterey.
    • [rc2] Fixed jumbo frames not working.
    • [rc2] sysctl: handle net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_count max exceeded (increase setting to 131072) - hattip to Community Member @DieFalse

    • [rc2] Mover will create '.partial' file and then rename upon completion.

    • [rc2] Check bz file sha256sums at boot time.

    I dont think vnstat needs to be a core package in unraid.  The Network Stats plugin that I maintain can be updated to include this, i just have to figure out how.

     

    This probably needs to be discussed in some detail.  The problem of packages being added to the core of Unraid by plugins was one of the main reasons why the concept of using Dockers where ever possible was promoted.  

     

    The problem is simple.  You install a package with your plugin.  The package is updated and now it does not work with your plugin.  Not a problem since a working versions is a part of your plugin.  Now, I develop a second plugin which does a different function which also uses that same package but works only with the later version.  I also include it in my plugin.  I think you can easily see the problem.  Installing either plugin will break the other one.  Trouble shooting this type of problem is a real b!Tch. 

     

    If the package is included in the core of Unraid and your plugin breaks because of an update to the package, you will have to fix your plugin or convince the maintainer of the package to fix the problem on his end.

    Yeah you are correct, it definitely becomes a bit of stepping on each others toes.  I was able to get things working on my local machine, but it seems there are a bunch of libraries that are no longer available in 6.10 that were previously available in 6.9.  Here is the full list of packages I needed to install to get things working locally againon 6.10-rc1:

    i did a downgrade back to RC1 and now my unraid server shows again under my windows network tab

    so what changed in RC2 that my server want discovered but with RC1 it will?

     

    Be careful here.  There are changes in Windows 10 which makes the 'discovery' process much more of a turkey shoot than it was a few years ago.  I would suggest that you consider reading this post and thread:

     

            https://forums.unraid.net/topic/110580-security-is-not-a-dirty-word-unraid-windows-10-smb-setup/?tab=comments#comment-1009109

     

    Doing the   Step 1:  Fixing the Windows Explorer Issue   will solve this problem.  

     

      My experience is that opening up the Network Neighborhood folder will often cause my Unraid servers to suddenly be discovered and appear under 'Network'.   I have no explanation as to why it should be happening.

     

    @limetech did include this as a part of the release notes.

    Quote

    For new configurations, SMBv1 is disabled by default.

     

    Now the old network discovery required SMBv1 to work properly.  (I have not had time to install rc2 so I don't know what the actual status of SMBv1 is in that release.  I know what the release notes say-- "For new configurations...")   Furthermore, SMBv1 has major security issues and should be turned off UNLESS you have some legacy equipment that will not work with the later SMB versions!    Even with it turned on the Unraid side of the equation, you still have the Windows 10 side to consider as SMBv1 is off by default.   There have been problems with shared  Windows computers showing up under the 'Network' for several years and MS has never really solved that problem.

    Not sure if i should post here or make a new thread, but I'm trying tp update from 6.10.0RC1 to 6.10.0RC2 and it crashes.  EPYC based machine with a quadro in it, gets to the attached screen and then screen shuts off, nothing on the local monitor, KVM or via IP.  BMC works, but shows no display.  
     

    I pulled the vid card out, tried a cold reboot, same results.  Please help.

    Problem with macOS Monterey?

     

    I updated from 6.9.2 to 6.10.0-rc2. At first everything looked fine...
    But then when I tried to copy two larger files from a macOS (Monterey) to a samba share, the copy process did not start. The share was even ejected. The share was mounted via simple "network browsing" (smb://nas._smb._tcp.local/data). The whole thing is reproducible. It seems that copying smaller files works. I reverted back to 6.9.2.

     

    There is the following "Samba extra configuration":

     

    [global]
    #unassigned_devices_start
    #Unassigned devices share includes
       include = /tmp/unassigned.devices/smb-settings.conf
    #unassigned_devices_end
    
    #vfs_recycle_start
    #Recycle bin configuration
       syslog only = No
       syslog = 0
       logging = 0
       log level = 0 vfs:0
    #vfs_recycle_end

    It's only an "error" with the syslog colorizing function that is erroneously tagging the error because the word error appears in the string.

    I seem to have an issue, that is maybe related to RC2 (not I never used RC1, so I don't know if it was also there).

    I use Edge (yes I actually switched to it from Chrome). One of my pinned tabs is UNRAID dashboard.

    If I leave it for a while and revisit the tab, then for several seconds it seems to "want to show me what I missed". :D
    I mean the CPU gauges and graph and the network graph just "fast forward" and then suddenly I reach the present.

     

    I don't remember this happening in 6.9.

    Upgraded form 6.9.2 to 6.10.0-rc2.  All is good.

     

    Thanks!

     

    just one thing wsdd2 not working.  The interface is correct.

    root@nas:~# ps auxw | grep wsdd2
    root      4647  0.0  0.0   2556  1664 ?        Ss   21:11   0:00 /usr/sbin/wsdd2 -d -i bond0

    I see this quite regularly... again in Edge... I've never let it catch up though, so I've never seen it normalize. I was seeing it on RC1 quite regularly. I haven't seen it on RC2 yet... Yet....

    happens to me in chrome all the time, currently on 6.9.2 and saw it this morning lol

    I see it regularly, I think it is caused by the browser putting tabs "to sleep" when not in use.

    EDIT: Just noticed it also spins to 100% on GPU if you go to the nvidia plugin page lol

    This is dependent on the graphics card and is maybe caused because the plugin utilizes nvidia-smi to get all the necessary information to display on the plugin page.

    Does the fan spin down again after that?

    I think you don't have persistneced mode on or am I wrong?

     

    This would be something for the support thread for the driver plugin.

    I also think this is the reason.

    Yet this is something to look for a fix, as "sleeping tabs" are a trend here to stay (and for a good reason).

    I am sure there must be an HTML tag for this to stop or something.

    Problem with macOS Monterey?

     

    I updated from 6.9.2 to 6.10.0-rc2. At first everything looked fine...
    But then when I tried to copy two larger files from a macOS (Monterey) to a samba share, the copy process did not start. The share was even ejected. The share was mounted via simple "network browsing" (smb://nas._smb._tcp.local/data). The whole thing is reproducible. It seems that copying smaller files works. I reverted back to 6.9.2.

     

     

    I've been using macOS Monterey 12.0.1 Finder SMB connection to Unraid 6.10.0-rc1 without problem – folders and files copy to and from with the SMB connection stable. However, similar to Taskache's reported experience SMB connection  between macOS Monterey 12.0.1 Finder and Unraid 6.10.0-rc2 fails when copying files.

     

    When copying a file (small or big in size) the transfer seems to finish copying but Finder then immediately drops the SMB connection. The SMB connection doesn't drop at the end of every file copy – perhaps about 50% of the time. A new macOS Monterey Finder SMB connection (Command K) is successful.

     

    My "Samba extra configuration":

    #unassigned_devices_start
    #Unassigned devices share includes
       include = /tmp/unassigned.devices/smb-settings.conf
    #unassigned_devices_end
    
    [global]
       mangled names = no
       dos charset = CP850
       unix charset = UTF-8
       spotlight backend = tracker
    
    [data01]
       path = /mnt/user/data01
       spotlight = yes

     

    It seems something changed with Unraid 6.10.0-rc2. I wonder if a Samba configuration addition/change might deliver a more reliable SMB connection.

     

    EDIT: After reviewing Samba documentation and some experimenting I believe I resolved this problem, noted here.

    "stock" speeds can be too fast, depending on which specific processor and the number and type of sticks.

     

    Also, some brands of sticks just don't like some motherboards, are your sticks specifically validated by your motherboard manufacturer?

     

    I've checked and the RAM is not overclocked with XMP / AMP, I've also completed a 12 hour Memtest successfully.

     

    I feel like this is side tracking from the reported issue - why is unRAID allowing the array to start with an "unmountable unsupported disk"? Why is that disk not being emulated? How is party still valid in this situation? And why would a further 2 reboots suddenly fix it (and maintain a valid parity)?

     

    So far as I am aware the screenshot that I posted (earlier in this thread) should not be possible in unRAID.

    I cannot connect using VNC on any of my VM's. The connection fails immediately.

    Anybody else seen this?

    Does clearing your browser cache fix it?

    Lastly, out of respect, if anyone wants to discuss this further, please create a separate topic to do so.

     

    I don't believe there is lack of respect here and as a paying customer we should be able to politely voice concerns, frustration, suggestions as well as the positive experiences.

     

    That being said what venue do you suggest to post these kind of concerns where actually is visible enough and you may actually end up doing something about it.   I feel like this is going to be buried somewhere and nothing will be done about it.  Call me a Debbie downer if you may :) but this is really a deal breaker for me as I refuse to put anything on your cloud, despite all your arguments on other dockers or plugins traffic.  What's next?  a risk assessment and pcaping your traffic?  Or the I told you so "ubiquity" cloud breach fiasco?  Just give people the option to opt out and take off the sign in from the webUI, such a simple, elegant fix :)

    The idea behind a separate topic is not to hide anything, but to keep the topic focused on your concerns so it does not get buried in all the postings here.

     

    You can currently opt out by not using the UPC to login.  You do not have to sign in to use Unraid.  It is not a requirement.  I too share your concerns about cloud storage, that's why I use Unraid to store all my stuff.  I don't put anything on the cloud.

     

    Removing the UPC is a quick 'elegant' solution to you.  I get that.  But, one of the concerns with your proposal to remove the UPC from the webGUI is that it is used for other purposes that is not tracking users in any way,  For example to request a new license if your flash fails, or to allow secure remote access.  If it is 'hidden' or enabled by a setting, it becomes cumbersome to a user to figure out how to enable and use it for things like requesting a license replacement.

     

    All that being said, if you'll start a new topic, we can discuss this further and give Limetech some ideas and the time to decide the best way to address your concerns and the valid concerns of those that choose to use the UPC.
