Ostrich

Just purchased another key, thanks Tom. Always considered having a second/backup key. Don't really need it right now, but would like to support Toms continued efforts on UnRAID development.

I think the verdict is fairly obvious, now the question for Tom is "when can we get it" Ost.

Release v5.0. As others have stated, no software is perfect, what is important (and what most of the conversation over the last couple months has focused on) is progress. So long as we get regular updates on progress and RCs, everyone is happy. Moving to 64 bit or reverting to a prior kernel may fix some bugs, but is almost guaranteed to introduce others. "Baby Steps" Ost.

I rolled back to v4.7 after running permissions script on rc8a and experiencing the SAMBA issue, no access / file problems for me. Waiting for rc9 to settle down before upgrading again. Ost.

All are through user shares. So through SAMBA (through windows) tried to delete /mnt/user/sharename/file, get error. Delete same file through telnet and it works fine. <edit> Appears to be intermittent file access across a number of shares, some will delete, some wont

Hey Joe Thanks for this. I tried again (loaded samba onto flash and edited GO file). Tested it was installed (it was), and rebooted server and windows PC. Still cant delete the files through windows. Have checked permissions on two files one old (pre RC8a) and one new (rc 8a). Both are -rw-rw---- nobody users Yet i get permission error on old file, and can delete new file. Weird... will continue to delete through telnet until new RC i guess, just a pain.

Quick one, can you downgrade from a 5 RC to 4.7?

I just upgraded (from 4.6) to RC8a, and experienced the "not able to delete" issue (i have run the permissions script twice now) I tried installing the updated samba as well (as per others in this topic) however was still unable to delete certain files (can write to shares fine). I just had to remove some files via telnet. Would a new release with an updated samba included fix the permissions issue? I have also noticed (as per others in this thread) that exploring the files in this version is slower than the release i upgraded from (slight pauses when first opening directories, and slow refresh). Thanks

I am wanting to upgrade to this latest RC, as I am about to start purchasing 3TB drives and need the support (currently on 4.7). Just curious about what the following does (taken from upgrade instructions), and impact is if i dont do it? "Go to Utils/New Permissions and execute that utility to change file ownership and permission settings. This is necessary for proper operation of the 5.0 security model. "

mejutty, I experienced the same issue, usually once the drives start to fill up. I posted same issue on other forum, which someone posted some recommendations on how to potentially fix, see posts here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4500.msg85277#msg85277 Maybe they will work for you? Didnt for me, but given its only really every now and then, and doesnt appear to create a hole in my parity i keep going as normal. It usually only occurs the first time i write to that particular drive as well ie if i have shares spanning multiple drives, first write to one drive may fail then work, then next write to another drive will fail then work. Once it fails once, every subsequent write to that drive works fine. If you figure out a solution i would be keen to hear.

Awesome thread, i have been looking at the recommended power supplies to get my next one but have a few options. I currently have 12 Green drives and 1 7200rpm drive, and am looking to expand (over time, years) up to 24 green drives. I looked at the power supply i currently have (was re-used) and baulked when i saw the 550W had two 12v lines (14A & 15A), so figured it best to run out and grab a new one. I have the following options: Corsair TX-650 V2 ($119) CoolerMaster GX 750W ($119) Given they're the same price, was wondering whether the 750W would be overkill for now and later and i should just go with 650w, or would it be better to keep that extra up my sleeve? Its going into a norco 4224, with amd cpu and m/b. Thanks

Minor point, but some small housekeeping is required on the unRAID OS development page, http://download.lime-technology.com/develop/infusions/aw_todo/project.php?id=1&view=roadmap It lists 0% of tasks done on 5.0 beta 4 (yet its available), doesnt list a 5.0 beta 5 (which sounds like is in works given comments in this forum on disk assignment using serial # etc). Thanks

Has the AMD powernow drivers been included in this release? They were included in an early 4.6 beta, but then i thought they were taken out and cant locate anything about them being re-included in the changelog, or on the project plan for development of unRaid? Thanks Ost.

AMD powernow was included in one of the previous beta releases to fix the CPU bug, are we expecting this to make its way back into a future release prior to v5.0? Thanks

Hi, im interested in enCFS for my unRaid server, couple questions: 1. Can i install enCFS without unMenu? (assume i can just install the packages from somewhere), if so wheres/whats best location to get latest version?. I am running 4.5.6 v of unRaid. 2. If i install a newer version of unRaid, assume ill need to re-install the enCFS package after that? (ie move to v5.0/4.7) 3. Anyone tested (as per previous threads) use/recovery of enCFS with deleting the secrets file (ie is it recoverable), and any issues with the encrypted data spanning multiple drives, and if so is it also recoverable on drive failure (assume so given parity drive etc). Thanks in advance, Ost.

Agree with weebo, lock away 4x series, get 5.0 out the door, 4K can be introduced as part of 6x (along with warnings that once you format a drive in 6x you cannot go to a previous version or else youll lose data) Ost.

I actually got this same issue recently (netgear DGN3500), rebooted modem/routed, reinstalled windows etc. All other pcs connected to switch xferred super fast except home pc. I tried to update my modem firmware etc (which failed) and only way i could get top speeds again was to use separate gigabit switch. Now i have just left that arrangement in place. Regards

Did all the powernow changes make it into this RC as well that were in 4.5.8 (cant see reference to it in the changelog) Also any instructions on how to get these running (im specifically keen to get my AMD powernow working). Thanks

I am running cache_dirs, and while it runs fantastically (and quick) i seem to be experiencing an issue not explicitly covered in this forum. The very first time i need to copy a file onto unraid, it appears to max out the memory first (2GB), but when the memory is full the copy fails and says network is no longer available. unraid then slowly writes the 2GB to disk (if i refresh it i can see the file size increasing in unraid) until it hits 2GB, then it displays the full file size (say 10GB). once that whole process finishes, i can recopy that file (replacing the original) and everything works fine, including all subsequent file copies (regardless of size). Not sure if anyone has experienced this or knows a solution? It doesnt pose a real problem since after the initial problem i can still copy, but would rather not have to go through that process everytime i boot my server. Thanks

BRiT, did you end up getting these cards and did they work OK? im thinking about getting one to complete my norco 4224 build, already have an AOC-SASLP-MV8 and wondering whether i should invest $50 bucks for one of these vs $150 for another SASLP-MV8. Thanks

Doesnt appear to be there. can i just create a blank file and copy in the CODE snippet from other posts, or is there other structures in that file i should worry about?

Excuse my newbie ignorance, but does anyone have a step-by-step to get this working? Im paranoid about deleting some of my files now and having them disappear for good. I couldnt locate a sme-extra.conf file, so i created one in the samba directory, but when i rebooted it disappeared (so i had no BIN share). Thanks

I dont appear to have the /cpufreq or the /arch directories in unraid? Should these be in the standard install of 4.5 (im using)?

Anyone have a step-by-step instructions on this for a newbie?

Hi there, noticed there were no specific threads for v4.5 yet? Assume its because of all the server requests, but was also wondering if there are any updates on v5.0 and webgui interface (screenies or other?) as am curious to see what the next version holds. Thanks
