• Unraid OS version 6.8.0-rc4 available


    limetech
    • Closed

    Misc. bug fixes and more changes to try and track down source of 'SQLite DB Corruption' issue.

     

    Specific changes in [-rcN] are indicated in bold below.

     

    New in Unraid OS 6.8 release:

     

    The unRAIDServer.plg file (update OS) still downloads the new release zip file to RAM but then extracts directly to USB flash boot device.  You will probably notice a slight difference in speed of extract messages. [-rc2] The 'sync' command at the end has been replaced with 'sync -f /boot'.

     

    Forms based authentication
    If you have set a root password for your server, upon boot you'll now see a nice login form.  There still is only one user for Unraid so for username enter root.  This form should be compatible with all major password managers out there.  We always recommend using a strong password.  [-rc2] There is no auto-logout implemented yet, please click Logout on menu bar or completely close your browser to logout.

     

    Linux kernel 5.3

    • default scheduler now 'mq-deadline' [-rc2] but this can be changed via Settings/Disk Settings/Scheduler setting.
    • enabled Huge Page support, though no UI control yet
    • binfmt_misc support
    • added "Vega 10 Reset bug" [-rc2] and 'navi-reset' patches
    • [-rc2] added oot: Realtek r8125: version 9.002.02
    • [-rc3] additional md/unraid changes and instrumentation
    • more device drivers

     

    Some out-of-tree (oot) drivers are currently omitted either because the source code doesn't compile or driver doesn't work with the 5.3 kernel:

    • Intel ixgbe [does not build] (using in-tree driver)
    • Highpoint r750 [does not work]
    • Highpoint rr3740a [does not build]

     

    This is always the risk with including vendor-supplied drivers.  Until the vendor fixes their code we must omit their driver.

     

    md/unraid driver
    Introduced "multi-stream" support:

    • Reads on devices which are not being written should run at full speed.  In addition, if you have set the md_write_method tunable to "reconstruct write", then while writing, if any read streams are detected, the write method is switched to "read/modifywrite".
    • Parity sync/check should run at full speed by default.
    • Parity sync/check is throttled back in presence of other active streams.
    • The "stripe pool" resource is automatically shared evenly between all active streams.

     

    As a result got rid of some Tunables:

    • md_sync_window
    • md_sync_thresh

    and added some tunables:

    • md_queue_limit
    • md_sync_limit
    • [-rc2] md_scheduler

     

    Please refer to Settings/Disk Settings help text for description of these settings.

     

    Remaining issue: some users have reported slower parity sync/check rates for very wide arrays (20+ devices) vs. 6.7 and earlier releases - we are still studying this problem.


    WireGuard support - available as a plugin via Community Apps.  Our WireGuard implementation and UI is still a work-in-process; for this reason we have made this available as a plugin, though the latest WireGuard module is included in our Linux kernel.  Full WireGuard implementation will be merged into Unraid OS itself in a future release.  I want to give special thanks to @bonienl who wrote the plugin with lots of guidance from @ljm42 - thank you!  I also should give a shout out to @NAS who got us rolling on this.  If you don't know about WireGuard it's something to look into!

     

    Guide here:


    WS-Discovery support - Finally you can get rid of SMBv1 and get reliable Windows network discovery.  This feature is configured on the Settings/SMB Settings page and enabled by default.

    • Also on same settings page is Enable NetBIOS setting.  This is enabled by default, however if you no longer have need for NetBIOS discovery you can turn it off.  When turned off, Samba is configured to accept only SMBv2 protocol and higher.
    • Added mDNS client support in Unraid OS.  This means, for example, from an Unraid OS terminal session to ping another Unraid OS server on your network you can use (e.g., 'tower'):
      ping tower.local
      instead of
      ping tower
      Note the latter will still work if you have NetBIOS enabled.

     

    User Share File System (shfs) changes:

    • Integrated FUSE-3 - This should increase performance of User Share File System somewhat.
    • Fixed bug with hard link support.  Previously a 'stat' on two directory entries referring to same file would return different i-node numbers, thus making it look like two independent files.  This has been fixed however there is a config setting on Settings/Global Share Settings called "Tunable (support hard links)".  [-rc2 ] Fixed the default value Yes, but with certain very old media and DVD players which access shares via NFS, you may need to set this to No.
    • Note: if you have custom config/extra.cfg file, get rid of it.


    Other improvements/bug fixes:

    • Format - during Format any running parity sync/check is automatically Paused and then resumed upon Format completion.
    • Encryption - an entered passphrase is not saved to any file.  Also included an API for Unassigned devices plugin to open encrypted volumes.
    • Fixed bug where multi-device btrfs pool was leaving metadata set to dup instead of raid1.
    • Several other small bug fixes and improvements.
    • Numerous base package updates [-rc2] including updating PHP to version 7.3.x, Samba to version 4.11.x.

     

    Finally - please note that AFP is now deprecated and we plan to remove in Unraid 6.9 release.

    Updated fine from 6.8.0-RC3 but the array status in the footer is stuck at the following message
    image.png.7b8dd2542697131b5b075eed7b52c06e.png

     

    But the array has already started, I can access all disks (read/write), docker containers are up & running. It's already over 20mins now and the status still hasn't changed.

     

    Main tab shows array has started as well.

    EDIT: The array status in the footer has changed to 'started' now, after almost an hour.

    Another minor issue, the 'orphan image' image is broken.

    image.png.370308f47427144cd61e02d16c9904bd.png

     

    The image doesn't exist in this /webGui/images/disk.png location, it was missing in 6.8.0-RC3 as well.

    I had the same issue as well. Didn't pay too much attention as I had to drive to work and was fine when I checked later in the day.

    This is a cosmetic issue which I'll fix in next release.

    @Niklas how long till it says dockers and vm's are running. I waited awhile and still were offline

     

    For me, my containers started spinning up in the usual time it takes to do that, didn't notice any difference compared to previous version. Only the array status in the footer took awhile to update but I could access all my shares/drives. The array status on the main page was correct though.

    It seemed to vary, once they came up almost right away, other times they never did after waiting 3 or 4 minutes.

    If you are not going to participate in at least posting diags, please don't bother to post and please wait for stable release.

    My apologies...

    What version were you running previously?

    From your syslog it appears you have an encrypted unassigned device.  Maybe a victim of this issue.

    No worries.

    I should not have encrypted unassigned device. I do have encrypted array though.

     

    currently on 6.7.2

    Until we fix this issue you can put your passphrase in a file and use 'file' as source of encryption passphrase.  Then after array starts click the Delete File button.

    If you could please include the Overlay networking module for Docker Swarm it would be appreciated! Not yet checked RC4 but it wasn't in RC3, without it Swarm members cannot see other containers off the box and I'd like to include my server in a cluster :)

    To solve the crypto issue I've placed a keyfile in my config directory and added the following line to my Go script prior to the emhttp line. It creates a link file on the dynamic OS to see it on boot. ->
     

    ln -s /boot/config/keyfile /root

    Hi,

     

    Noticed the following things:

    1. DHCP doesnt get fetch automatic, after update set itself to 219.254.xxx.xxx; solved it by setting it to a static one. Tried to revert back to automatic but it reverts back to the 219.254.xxx.xxx adress and not the one it should get from my router (PFSense)
    2.  Login form keeps spinning when i press login; after a few seconds i press login again then i get the webgui.
    3. Array notification like described above.
    4. When i want to save a file to a share from chrome it keeps refreshing or something. You can't save for á second than it is oke for 3 seconds and then the 1 second kicks back in again. Never had this before.
    5. Some python warnings; general protection fault and segfault

     

    Here is my diagnostics file:
