• Unraid OS version 6.7.0-rc1 available


    limetech

    New in Unraid OS 6.7 release:

     

    New Dashboard layout, along with new Settings and Tools icons.  Designed by user @Mex and implemented in collaboration with @bonienl.  We think you will find this is a big step forward.

     

    Time Machine support via SMB.  To enable this feature it is necessary to first turn on Enhanced OS X interoperability on the Settings/SMB page.  Next, select a share to Export for Time Machine in the share SMB Security Settings section.  AFP support is deprecated.

     

    Linux kernel 4.19.  This is the latest Long Term Support kernel.  We will go with this for a while but anticipate
    updating to 4.20 or even 5.0 for Unraid 6.7.0 stable.  Here are some other kernel-related updates:

    • Added TCP "BBR Congestion control" and made it the default.  This should improve network throughput but probably not too many users will notice anything different.
    • Added Bluetooth support in the Linux kernel.  We did not add the user-space tools so this will be mostly useful to support Bluetooth in docker containers.
    • AMD firmware update for Threadripper.

     

    Ignore case in validating user share names.  If there are multiple top-level directories which differ only in case, then we use the first such share name encountered, checking in order: cache, disk1, disk2, ..., diskN.  Additional top-level directories encountered will be ignored.  For example, suppose we have:

    /mnt/cache/ashare
    /mnt/disk1/Ashare
    /mnt/disk2/ashare

    The name of the exported share will be 'ashare' and will consist of a union of /mnt/cache/ashare and /mnt/disk2/ashare.  The contents of /mnt/disk1/Ashare will not show up in /mnt/user/ashare.

     

    If you then delete the contents of /mnt/user/ashare followed by deleting the 'ashare' share itself, this will result in share 'Ashare' becoming visible.  Similar, if you delete the contents of /mnt/cache/ashare (or gets moved), then you will now see share 'Ashare' appear, and it will look like the contents of 'ashare' are missing!  Thankfully very few (if any) users should be affected by this, but handles a corner case in both the presentation of shares in windows networking and storage of share config data on the USB flash boot device.

     

    New vfio-bind method.  Since it appears that the xen-pciback/pciback kernel options no longer work, we introduced an alternate method of binding, by ID, selected PCI devices to the vfio-pci driver. This is accomplished by specifying the PCI ID(s) of devices to bind to vfio-pci in the file 'config/vfio-pci.cfg' on the USB flash boot device.  This file should contain a single line that defines the devices:

    BIND=<device> <device> ...

    Where <device> is a Domain:Bus:Device.Function string, for example,

    BIND=02:00.0

    Multiple device should be separated with spaces.

     

    The script /usr/local/sbin/vfio-pci is called very early in system start-up, right after the USB flash boot device is
    mounted but before any kernel modules (drivers) have been loaded.  The function of the script is to bind each specified device to the vfio-pci driver, which makes them available for assignment to a virtual machine, and also prevents the Linux kernel from automatically binding them to any present host driver.

     

    In addition, and importantly, this script will bind not only the specified device(s), but all other devices in the same IOMMU group as well.  For example, suppose there is an NVIDIA GPU which defines both a VGA device at 02:00.0 and an audio device at 02.00.1.  Specifying a single device (either one) on the BIND line is sufficient to bind both device to vfio-pci.  The implication is that either all devices of an IOMMU group are bound to vfio-pci or none of them are.

     

    Added 'telegram' notification agent support - thank you @realies

     

    Finally, we updated several base packages, including move to Samba 4.9 and docker 18.09, and fixed a number of minor bugs.

    The new dashboard and icons are great!

     

    add telegram notifications

     

    The GUI is missing the input line for 'chatid'. The only way for it to work is to manually create a file 'chatid' in /boot/config/telegram/ with the chatid number inside this file.

    Updated.. my dreams of having a fixed threadripper cache native supported dashed sadly. QEMU 3.1 doesn't seem to have the fix either.

    Looks like the fun stuff to fix threadripper issues and PCIe Root ports becoming x16 ports is coming in QEMU 4.0 :(. I hope i'm wrong though!

    Did you update your XML to use the new Machine type? 

    Im going to experiment with the PCIe port speed when im home this evening.

    All the tiles can be minimised/collapsed so they dont have to take up a lot of space

    Changes aren't persistent across sessions. Is it possible to get my choices saved at the server level instead of per browser?

    Excellent suggestion, I'm sure this is something that can be added. As previously said though, feature requests should go in the feature requests thread so make sure to add it there so it wont get lost/forgotten!

    updated a z400 running 3 vm's with 3 GPUs, didn't change anything, appears everything is working with the following item I noticed:

     

    utilization missing/not working from unassigned disks:

    Is it just me, or is the web gui a little bit faster?

    On the other hand, I may want to have it per browser, since my laptop screen is a little more cramped than the one on my desktop.😄

    Good point. Per device / browser customization is probably better, now that I think it through.

    Yeah I tried a lot of different things.. It doesn't make sense though as the topology fixes were technically in 3.0 so don't understand why I can't let it pass through and instead have to emulate an EPYC which does show the proper topology.

    That is what the current implementation does.

    utilization missing/not working from unassigned disks:

    Expected, there is no utilization information stored for unassigned devices.

    Keep in mind that unassigned devices may have a unsupported file system by Unraid.

    Had an oddity with my NVME which is used for VM OS disk going "missing" after I shut down my VM. Disk was not seen by the system and was listed as "missing". Might've been a fluke but will post diags if it happens again. Was fixed with reboot of NAS.

    Something in your local network blocking your connection?

    then, shouldn't the utilization text be removed?

    Shouldn't be, Just a switch between the server and myself.  Other popups work fine...like the Log window.  Let me play a bit I guess, perhaps a reboot....so sad.

    The UPS plugin on the dashboard no longer shows the wattage consumption only % load. It would be nice if it could still show that.

    The log window doesn't need a connection to the internet. Downloading the new version does.

    You have to switch from the Stable branch to the Next branch.  This new release is an RC.
