Thanks to @SimonF!

The 6.11.1 release includes primarily bug fixes but also includes VM Manager improvements by @SimonF. Bugs: If you discover a bug or other issue in this release, please open a Stable Releases Bug Report. ALL USERS are encouraged to upgrade. As always, prior to updating, create a backup of your USB flash device: "Main/Flash/Flash Device Settings" - click "Flash Backup". Version 6.11.1 2022-10-06 Improvements Updated both qemu and libvirt to latest versions: Added ppc, riscv32/riscv64, and aarch64 support. Updated docker to v20.10.18 and improved networking: When DHCP is used, wait for IPv4 assignment before proceeding on system startup, this avoids a possible race-condition at boot time when host access to custom networks is enabled. Allow user defined networks to be reconnected at docker service start. Now all defined networks will be automatically reconnected. VM Manager improvements: Implemented option to use Virtiofs for mapping of Unraid host shares into a VM. Added Spice html client for Virtual Machines (experimental). Notable Bug fixes Fixed issue where opening certain pages, eg, Dashboard, needlessly causes writes to the USB Flash boot device. Fixed the issue of docker containers can reach the Internet when the WG tunnel is not autostarted at system boot up. Users are advised to regenerate the WG configs. This can be done, e.g., by clicking in a field to change a value and then change it back in order to get the Apply button to light up. Then click Apply. Fixed issue where empty popup windows gets displayed with certain browsers and devices. Restored "NTLMv1 authentication" for incoming SMB connections.

Probably win11 comes configured out of the box to not support NTLMv1 which is insecure.

Add this to "Settings/SMB/SMB Extras/Samba extra configuration" ntlm auth = Yes Please report back if this solves connectivity issues.

We created a kernel patch in Unraid 6.11.1 to silence these messages.

Please go to Tools/System Devices and check the checkbox next to the ast device and then reboot and see if issue persists. If so, try same thing with the Intel display adapter. Checking the box for a device completely isolates it from the Linux kernel and we should be able to at least determine which is the culprit.

The 6.11 release includes bug fixes, update of base packages, update to 5.19.x Linux kernel, and minor feature improvements. Sorry no major new feature but instead we are paying some "technical debt" and laying the groundwork necessary to add better third-party driver and ZFS support. Although, Samba is updated to version 4.17 and we're seeing some significant performance increases. There are other improvements still a work-in-process which we will publish in patch releases: better support for third-party drivers better macOS integration better Active Directory integration additional VM Manager improvements To upgrade: First create a backup of your USB flash boot device: Main/Flash/Flash Backup If you are running any 6.4 or later release, click 'Check for Updates' on the Tools/Update OS page. If you are running a pre-6.4 release, click 'Check for Updates' on the Plugins page. If the above doesn't work, navigate to Plugins/Install Plugin, select/copy/paste this plugin URL and click Install: https://unraid-dl.sfo2.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/stable/unRAIDServer.plg Bugs: If you discover a bug or other issue in this release, please open a Stable Releases Bug Report. ALL USERS are encouraged to upgrade. As always, prior to updating, create a backup of your USB flash device: "Main/Flash/Flash Device Settings" - click "Flash Backup". Special thanks to all our beta testers and especially: @bonienl for his continued refinement and updating of the Dynamix webGUI including new background downloading functionality. @Squid for continued refinement of Community Apps and associated feed. @dlandon for continued refinement of Unassigned Devices plugin and patience as we change things under the hood. @ich777 for assistance and passing on knowledge of Linux kernel config changes to support third party drivers and other kernel-related functionality via plugins. Also for working with us for better third-party driver integration (still a work-in-process). @SimonF for several improvements including better handling of USB assignments to Virtual Machines. @JorgeB for rigorous testing of storage subsystem Version 6.11.0 2022-09-23 Improvements With this release there have been many base package updates including several CVE mitigations. The Linux kernel update includes mitigation for Processor MMIO stale-data vulnerabilities. The plugin system has been refactored so that 'plugin install' can proceed in the background. This alleviates issue where a user may think installation has crashed and closes the window, when actually it has not crashed. Many other webGUI improvements. Added support for specifying custom VNC ports in VM manager form editor. Custom port number specified using XML editor will be preserved when switching to forms-based editor. Spin down for non-rotational devices now places those devices in standby mode if supported by the device. Similarly, spin up, or any I/O to the device will restore normal operation. Display NVMe device capabilities obtained from SMART info. Added necessary kernel CONFIG options to support Sr-iov with mellanox connectx4+ cards Merged Dynamix SSD Trim plugin into Unraid OS webGUI. Preliminary support for cgroup2. Pass 'unraidcgroup2' on syslinux append line to activate. Included perl in base distro. Bug fixes Fixed issue in VM manager where VM log can not open when VM name has an embedded '#' character. Fixed issue where Parity check pause/resume on schedule was broken. Fixed issue installing registration keys. Updated 'samba' to address security mitigations. Also should get rid of kernel message complaining about "Attempt to set a LOCK_MAND lock via flock(2)." Fixed issue switching from 'test' branch to 'next'. Quit trying to spin down devices which do not support standby mode. Fixed AD join issued caused by outdated cyras-sasl library Do not start mcelog daemon if CPU is unsupported (most AMD processors). Fix nginx not recognizing SSL certificate renewal. wireguard: check the reachability of the gateway (next-hop) before starting the WG tunnel. Ignore "ERROR:" strings mixed in "btrfs filesystem show" command output. This solves problem where libblkid could tag a parity disk as having btrfs file system because the place it looks for the "magic number" happens to matches btrfs. Subsequent "btrfs fi" commands will attempt to read btrfs metadata from this device which fails because there really is not a btrfs filesystem there. Fixed bug in mover that prevented files from being moved from unRAID array to a cache pool (mode Prefer) if the share name contains a space. Change Log vs. Unraid OS 6.10.3 Management: Add sha256 checks of un-zipped files in unRAIDServer.plg. bash: in /etc/profile omit "." (current directory) from PATH docker: do not call 'docker stop' if there are no running containers emhttpd: improve standby (spinning) support mover: fixed issue preventing moving filed from array to cache if share name contains a space rc.nginx: enable OCSP stapling on certs which include an OCSP responder URL rc.nginx: compress 'woff' font files and instruct browser to cache rc.wireguard: add better troubleshooting for WireGuard autostart rc.S: support early load of plugin driver modules SMB: fixed 'fruit' settings for the USB Flash boot device SMB: remove NTLMv1 support since removed from Linux kernel SMB: (temporarily) move vfs_fruit settings into separate /etc/samba/smb-fruit.conf file SMB: (temporarily) get rid of Samba 'idmap_hash is deprecated' nag lines startup: Prevent installing downgraded versions of packages which might exist in /boot/extra upc: version v1.3.0 webgui: Plugin system update Detach frontend and backend operation Use nchan as communication channel Allow window to be closed while backend continues Use SWAL as window manager Added multi remove ability on Plugins page Added update all plugins with details webgui: docker: use docker label as primary source for WebUI This makes the 'net.unraid.docker.webui' docker label the primary source when parsing the web UI address. If the docker label is missing, the template value will be used instead. webgui: Update Credits.page webgui: VM manager: Fix VM log can not open when VM name has an embedded '#' webgui: Management Access page: add details for self-signed certs webgui: Parity check: fix regression error webgui: Remove session creation in scripts webgui: Update ssh key regex Add support for ed25519/sk-ed25519 Remove support for ecdsa (insecure) Use proper regex to check for valid key types webgui: misc. style updates webgui: Management access: HTTP port setting should always be enabled webgui: Fix: preserve vnc port settings webgui: Fix regression error in plugin system webgui: Fix issue installing registration keys webgui: Highlight case selection when custom image is selected webgui: fix(upc): v1.4.2 apiVersion check regression webgui: Update Disk Capabilities pages for NVME drives webgui: chore(upc): v1.6.0 webgui: Plugin system and docker update webgui: System info - style update webgui: Plugins: keep header buttons in same position webgui: Prevent overflow in container size for low resolutions webgui: VM Manager: Add boot order to GUI and CD hot plug function webgui: Docker Manager: add ability to specify shell with container label. webgui: fix: Discord notification agent url webgui: Suppress info icon in banner message when no info is available webgui: Add Spindown message and use -n for identity if scsi drive. webgui: Fix SAS Selftest webgui: Fix plugin multi updates webgui: UPS display enhancements: Add icon for each category Add translation in UPS section on dashboard Add Output voltage / frequency value Add coloring depending on settings Normalize units Make updates near real-time Added UPS model field webgui: JQuery: version 3.6.1 webgui: JQueryUI: version 1.13.2 webgui: improved 'cache busting' on font file urls webgui: Fixed: text color in docker popup window sometimes wrong webgui: Fixed: show read errors during Read Check webgui: VM Manager: Add USB Startup policy; add Missing USB support webgui: Docker: fixed javascript error when no containers exist webgui: added 3rd party system diagnostics added diagnostics for third party plugin packages added diagnostics for /dev/dri devices added diagnostics for /dev/dvb devices added diagnostics for nvidia devices Linux kernel: version 5.19.9 (CVE-2022-21123 (CVE-2022-21123 CVE-2022-21125 CVE-2022-21166) md/unraid: version 2.9.24 CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH: Passthrough CONFIG_VIRTIO_IOMMU: Virtio IOMMU driver CONFIG_X86_AMD_PSTATE: AMD Processor P-State driver CONFIG_FIREWIRE: FireWire driver stack CONFIG_FIREWIRE_OHCI: OHCI-1394 controllers CONFIG_FIREWIRE_SBP2: Storage devices (SBP-2 protocol) CONFIG_FIREWIRE_NET: IP networking over 1394 CONFIG_INPUT_UINPUT: User level driver support CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV: Joystick interface CONFIG_INPUT_JOYSTICK: Joysticks/Gamepads CONFIG_JOYSTICK_XPAD: X-Box gamepad support CONFIG_JOYSTICK_XPAD_FF: X-Box gamepad rumble support CONFIG_JOYSTICK_XPAD_LEDS: LED Support for Xbox360 controller 'BigX' LED CONFIG_MLX5_TLS: Mellanox Technologies TLS Connect-X support CONFIG_MLX5_ESWITCH: Mellanox Technologies MLX5 SRIOV E-Switch suppor CONFIG_MLX5_CLS_ACT: MLX5 TC classifier action support CONFIG_MLX5_TC_SAMPLE: MLX5 TC sample offload support CONFIG_MLXSW_SPECTRUM: Mellanox Technologies Spectrum family support CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV: Switch (and switch-ish) device support CONFIG_TLS: Transport Layer Security support CONFIG_TLS_DEVICE: Transport Layer Security HW offload CONFIG_TLS_TOE: Transport Layer Security TCP stack bypass CONFIG_VMD: Intel Volume Management Device Driver added additional sensor drivers: CONFIG_AMD_SFH_HID: AMD Sensor Fusion Hub CONFIG_SENSORS_AQUACOMPUTER_D5NEXT: Aquacomputer D5 Next watercooling pump CONFIG_SENSORS_MAX6620: Maxim MAX6620 fan controller CONFIG_SENSORS_NZXT_SMART2: NZXT RGB & Fan Controller/Smart Device v2 CONFIG_SENSORS_SBRMI: Emulated SB-RMI sensor CONFIG_SENSORS_SHT4x: Sensiron humidity and temperature sensors.

First, you are running an -rc, you should post this in the Preleases Bug Report section. re: glibc - was not removed, just updated. But 'stock' Unraid OS strips things like source code and header files which are unnecessary for normal usage (and always has). The kind of modifications you are doing are outside the scope of what we support. NerdPack and DevPack are deprecated because no one wants to maintain them. We did include directly in Unraid OS packages required from some of the more popular plugins which previously required NerdPack to be installed. Perl is one of them. If you are having issues with how we have perl installed, please post in the Prerelease forum and we can address it. re: .bash_profile - that was modified to get rid of adding "." to PATH since it's a common security hole. It's not "overwritten" during boot so I don't know what could be causing any issues you are having with that.

Please see here:

pm-utils was replaced by elogind - sorry I don't use that tool so didn't notice the change. try: loginctl suspend

License key rootkits may be doing more than they claim, is this a risk you want to take with your data?

This should be fixed in 6.11.0-rc3

The primary purpose of this release is to address an issue seen with many HP Microserver Gen8/9 servers (and other platforms) where data corruption could occur if Intel VT-d is enabled. ALL USERS are encouraged to update. As always, please make a flash back up before upgrading: Main/Flash/Flash Backup. While we have not identified the exact kernel commit that introduced this issue, we have identified a solution that involves changing the default IOMMU operational mode in the Linux kernel from "DMA Translation" to "Pass-through" (equivalent to "intel_iommu=pt" kernel option). At first, we thought the 'tg3' network driver was the culprit; however, upon thorough investigation, we think this is coincidental and we have also removed code that "blacklists" the tg3 driver. Special thanks to @JorgeB who helped characterize and report this issue, as well as helping many people recover data when possible. Please refer to the Unraid OS 6.10.3-rc1 announcement post for more information. Version 6.10.3 2022-06-14 Improvements Fixed data corruption issue which could occur on some platforms, notably HP Microserver Gen8/9, when Intel VT-d was enabled. This was fixed by changing the Linux kernel default IOMMU operation mode from "DMA Translation" to "Pass-through". Also removed 'tg3' blacklisting when Intel VT-d was enabled. This was added in an abundance of caution as all early reports of data corruption involved platforms which also (coincidentally) used 'tg3' network driver. If you created a blank 'config/modprobe.d/tg3.conf' file you may remove it. Plugin authors: A plugin file may include a tag which displays a markdown formatted message when a new version is available. Use this to give instructions or warnings to users before the upgrade is done. Brought back color-coding in logging windows. Bug fixes Fix issue detecting Mellanox NIC. Misc. webGUI bug fixes Change Log vs. Unraid OS 6.10.2 Base distro: no changes Linux kernel: version 5.15.46-Unraid CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH: Passthrough Management: startup: improve network device detection webgui: Added color coding in log files webgui: In case of flash corruption try the test again webgui: Improved syslog reading webgui: Added log size setting when viewing syslog webgui: Plugin manager: add ALERT message function webgui: Add INFO icon to banner webgui: Added translations to PageMap page webgui: Fix: non-correcting parity check actually correcting if non-English language pack installed webgui: Updated azure/gray themes Better support for Firefox Move utilization and notification indicators to the right

We have decided to publish this release on the Unraid OS next branch so that those users with test servers may give this release a try. To update to this release, navigate to Tools/Update OS and select 'next' under Branch. As soon as we have confirmation from more HP Microserver users that no more "DMAR ERROR" syslog messages are generated, we will publish 6.10.3 stable release. Similarly, since we have effectively changed the intel_iommu mode, we would be interested to know if any VM issues arise - in all our testing there are no issues.

As of yesterday does exactly that, except if that condition exists (tg3 installed + iommu enabled), the update exits.

Note: to be safe you should add that to all "boot modes" indicated on Main/Flash page, in case you ever need to switch boot modes. This is an easy thing to forget.

When you click 'Check for Updates" it downloads 'unRAIDServer.plg' file from our download server. When this file is 'executed' and detects tg3 present and iommu enabled it does this: echo "NOTE: combination of NIC using tg3 driver and Intel VT-d enabled may cause DATA CORRUPTION on some platforms." echo "Please disable VT-d in BIOS or pass 'intel_iommu=off' on syslinux kernel append line." echo "Alternaltely create 'config/modprobe.d/tg3.conf' file:" echo " touch /boot/config/modprobe.d/tg3.conf # if your platform is not affected" echo "or" echo " echo 'blacklist tg3' > /boot/config/modprobe.d/tg3.conf # to blacklist the tg3 driver" echo exit 1 The script only checks for existence of modprobe.d/tg3.conf file, not it's content. Hence user can choose to blacklist or not.

AFAIK it's not possible to programmatically disable VT-d. The way the kernel initializes is based on whether VT-d is enabled or not. The current approach was taken in an abundance of caution. Going into a 3-day holiday here in the US I decided it's better for users to lose network connection (which I agree sucks) than to suffer data loss, when we know about possible data loss (that would suck even more). I've just added some code to the downloaded 'unRAIDServer.plg' file that will detect the combination of 'tg3' module loaded and VT-d enabled, and will bail out of the upgrade unless ./config/modprobe.d/tg.conf file exists. This should greatly help those upgrading but new users on affected platform will still see no ethernet. This is going to take us some time to get this fixed; probably will have to go purchase a known-affected platform. The issue is acknowledged here: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=emr_na-c04565693 Why this has suddenly happened is a mystery.
